Bucksfan_Margo Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 For instance: "Don't Wanna Fall In Love" - Jane Child "She Drives Me Crazy" - Fine Young Cannibals can anyone help me out here? Thank you guys!
Shawna Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 are you looking for songs that sound the same in the beginning? Or do you want confirmation that the two you listed do? I'm a little confused...
Crazy Don Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Two Out of Three Ain't Bad--Meat Loaf Three Times a Lady--Commodores Blue Bayou--Linda Ronstadt An Innocent Man--Billy Joel (I remember when the latter was on the chart, the radio station I listened to started playing what I thought was the latter and I sang out in jest, "I feel so bad, got a worried mind" and it turned out the station had just started playing "Blue Bayou"!) Just What I Needed--The Cars Stacy's Mom--Fountains of Wayne
edna Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 You better moven on - Arthur Alexander Under the boardwalk - The Drifters I can´t remember what songs now, but I´m pretty sure Phil Spector has used the same intro more than twice...
Levis Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Mexican Radio - Wall of Voodoo My Generation - The Who My ears And: Mary Jane's Last Dance - Tom Petty Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers Other people's ears
Rayzor Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Every AC/DC song has not only the same opening but the same chords, rhythm, beat and lyrics!
Ombre Vivante Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Blue Oyster's Cult "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and Roxy Music's "Trash" sort of sound the same at the opening.
edna Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Every AC/DC song has not only the same opening but the same chords, rhythm, beat and lyrics! The Simple Minds are a similar case... and their songs usually have just one or two chords...
Rayzor Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Well, Angus (lead guitarist from AC/DC for the kids who don't know) can use at least 5 different chords!
c_s_1987 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Rock Of Ages - Def Leppard Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) - The Offspring Gluten Glieben Glauchen Globen. What a strange line. Well, I assume that isn't exactly what you meant. But, a more serious example: Something - The Beatles The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin The intro chord progression in these two songs is the same, which is somewhat unsurprising since Jimmy Page wrote The Rain Song as a response to George Harrison's comment that Led Zeppelin did not record enough ballads.
Shawna Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 "Raining On Sunday" ~ Keith Urban "I Hope You Dance" ~ LeeAnn Womack "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" ~ Eurythmics "Sunglasses At Night" ~ Corey Hart
_Laurie_ Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Yes Shawna...Sweet Dreams and Sunglasses I always thought sounded alike in the beginning.
_Laurie_ Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Crazy On You ~ Heart Classical Gas ~ Mason Williams
Crazy Don Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Just thought of another pair… Rainy Day Women #12 & 35--Bob Dylan They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaaa!--Napoleon XIV
blind-fitter Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 "Psyche" - Killing Joke "Whip It" - Devo
_Laurie_ Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 I heard Dangerous Type by The Cars today, when it first started, it sounded like the beginning to T Rex's Bang The Gong...
Crazy Don Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 And still another… If You Don't Know Me by Now--Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes Take It to the Limit--Eagles
MuzikTyme Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Piece of Mind----------Boston Poem-------------------Taproot Simple Kind of Man----Lynyrd Skynyrd Always Somewhere---Scorpions Piece of My Heart-----Janis Joplin Wheels of Confusion--Black Sabbath Ghost Busters----------Ray Parker Jr. I Want a New Drug----Huey Lewis and the News I Like to Rock----------April Wine Day Tripper------------The Beatles There's many more examples. Unfortunately, I'm only counting on one hand at the moment, hence the given five. One example sticks out in my mind which may not qualify because it's the same band; The Who. Ever tried singing Magic Bus and My Generation together? . . . "People try to put us down And my magic bus!" They both go hand in hand.
DASJETS Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) There are 2 songs that begin with the lyrics, "If the sun refused to shine". 1) Led Zeppelin, "Thank You" - "If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you." 2) Jimi Hendrix, "If 6 was 9" - "If the sun refused to shine, I don't mind." In each of the songs the second lines are also very similar: 1) "Thank You" - "When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me" 2) "If 6 was 9" - "If the mountains fell in the sea, let it be" Edited October 31, 2007 by Guest
johnnyguitar Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) Good call....but have you seen the Davey Graham (or was it Bert Jansch?) ragtime video on YOU Tube where it is blindingly obvious that Page stole the intro to Stairway to Heaven from...it's pretty convincing. I'll go look for it. Here it is...Davey Graham. Lovely girl in the video! JG Edited October 31, 2007 by Guest
cyberjudge Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 "Hotel California"-The Eagles "Under the Bridge"-Red Hot Chili Peppers
phil Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) Stuck In The Middle With You - Stealers Wheel All I Wanna Do - Sheryl Crow These songs sound alike to me. Edited November 3, 2007 by Guest
blind-fitter Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 "Three Girl Rhumba" originally by Wire, but in the absence of youtubery of their version, have this cover by Mike Watt and The Missing Men (followed buy a version of Wire's "Ex-Lion Tamer") "Connection" - Elastica
blind-fitter Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 "No More Heroes" - The Stranglers "Waking Up" - Elastica
