Sweet vs. ELO

Kendra sent me this one.

It’s not necessarily mind blowing but over the years you’ve probably been confused by Electric Light Orchesatra‘s 1976 hit “Do Ya” (original recorded in 1972) and Sweet‘s 1975 hit “Fox on The Run”.  There are definitely some similarities here. Have a listen:

Electric Light Orchesatra – “Do Ya” (1976)
Sweet – “Fox On The Run” (1975)

    Of course, Lynne wrote and performed the song earlier with his group “The Move” in 1972: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhCV2v-qud4#t=1m23s
