And a lot of rock & roll songs sound alike." Petty went on to say that The Strokes admitted that they took Tom Petty's riff for "American Girl" and used it in their song "Last Nite" [mini_player audio="/music/AmericanGirl.mp3" artist="Tom Petty" track="American Girl" year="1977"] [mini_player audio="/music/LastNight.mp3" artist="The Strokes" track="Last Night" year="2001"]
