This is an update to Gwen Stefani vs. Weezer vs. Lita Ford
Paul brought Aztec Camera‘s 1987 hit “Somewhere In My Heart” to my attention pointing out that it predates all of these. They all share a very similar descending vocal melody. Thanks Paul!

HA HA!! It just gets better and better. The list gets longer and longer. Every time I would hear one of those songs, I would hear the other three, and now it’s documented! I’m not alone! It should be such a unique melody. How did at least four songs completely do the same thing? (Well, Aztec Camera was first. But for not being the most popular song in the world, it sure has been “borrowed” quite a bit. I love this website…

Hash Pipe always reminded me a bit of “She Bop” by Cyndi Lauper!

Add “This River Is Wild” by The Killers to this list with this section:
“And Adam’s taking bombs ‘cos he’s stuck on his Mom
And that b*tch keeps tring to make him pay
He’s with the hippie in the park coming out of the dark
To try some of that little girl play”

I found Aztec Camera’s song, and couldn’t place it, but I could hear it in my head. This song was This River is Wild, which I wouldn’t have realized without you.
And to think, I was going to jump out the window.

Ah, excellent! I don’t know why I didn’t think of adding The Killers on here. Thanks!
