Iggy Pop vs. Jet
Submitted by Drew and David.
As soon as I heard this song I knew there was something suspicious. Jet’s 2005 track “Are You Gonna be My Girl” lifts heavily from Iggy Pop’s 1977 classic “Lust for Life”. (They also must’ve made a killing from the Apple iPod ads.)

Jet’s song also sounds similar to the beginning of The White Stripes’ song ‘Screwdriver’ (which was on the Stripes’ debut album from 1999).
Just thought I’d say.

Another rip off of Iggy Pop’s “Lust for Life” is
Travis’ “Selfish Jean” from 2007’s ‘The Boy With No Name’

Take a little to the bass line of The Supremes “You Can’t Hurry Love” and a lot of other Motown songs. Instead of Jet ripping Iggy Pop it’s more like Jet and Iggy Pop ripping The Supremes.
