Seal vs. Nickelback
Submitted by Blair
I always thought there was something familiar about the 2002 Spider-Man theme “Hero”. Have a listen to Seal’s 1995 hit “Kiss From a Rose” next to Chad Kroger’s (of Nickelback) “Hero”.

It’s pretty subtle on this one, I’ll give you that.

i actually just heard ‘kiss from a rose’ in an episode of it’s always sunny in philadelphia and the first thing i thought was ‘that’s the song from spider-man’ and after further research i was led to this page. i hear the connection, its rather obvious similar chord progression and rhythm in the vocals.

The reason that you don’t hear a connection is because there is NONE. Anyone that thinks there is a connection needs their ears checked. The only “connection” between these two songs is that they’re both in Superhero films – that’s where the similarities end. Half of the songs on this site don’t make sense anyway.

@Nope
I disagree. In fact, I remember thinking, back when “Hero” was released “Wow, what a blatant ripoff of Kiss from a rose!”
And the fact that it was for a spiderman movie just add weight to my suspicion that they just took their ‘inspiration’ from the hit song of another same-genre movie.

Agree with you Sanglyon. As a Canadian I despise Chad Kroeger. He ripped off his sound from the post grunge bands of America and it isn’t surprising that he ripped off an anthemic chorus line from Seal. He truly is a painted face on a hollow shell. I think as a sixth generation Canadian there is a law that I have the right to strip the citizenship off a second generation Canadian and send them to their country of origin. In this case Germany. Speaking of Germans ripping off songs. Silent Night which everyone thought was composed in Germany was a rip off of a Russian song called Evening Bell which Thomas Moore published in 1812.

I totally hear the similarity! For those of you out there with untrained ears, try singing the lyrics to one song while listening to the other.
