Submitted by Jim
Any more of these out there??
Jim points out the hook in Survivor’s 1984 hit “I Can’t Hold Back”. I included the beginning of the guitar solo at the end of the sample because it also incorporates the melody. Here’s all of them again!
Survivor – “I Can’t Hold Back” (1984)
Cat Stevens – “Foreigner Suite” (1973)
Joe Satriani – “If I Could Fly” (2004)

Friday, October 16th, 2009Update for Dr. Dre vs. Phoenix
A while back Haji brought to my attention Grizzly Bear’s 2009 track “Two Weeks” and somebody else just posted a comment pointing out Lauryn Hill’s 1998 Track “Doo Wop (That Thing)”. All with that familiar piano jingle.

UPDATE: Lynrd Skynrd vs. Steve Miller Band
Monday, August 17th, 2009http://www.thatsongsoundslike.com/2007/07/12/steve-miller-band-vs-lynrd-skynrd
Doug had some great additions to the Lynrd Skynrd vs. Steve Miller Band post. He says:
“Sweet home Alabama” has a few sound-a-likes, most notably “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon, which in turn is ripped off by Kid Rock’s “All Summer Long” which ironically quotes “Sweet Home Alabama” in the lyrics.
Here they are:
Warren Zevon – “Werewolves of London” (1978)
Kid Rock – “All Summer Long” (2007)
UPDATE: Belle and Sebastion vs. Charles in Charge

Cheryl pointed out the similarity of Tracey Ullman’s 1983 hit “They Don’t Know” (original recorded by Kirsty MacColl in 1979) . Great find!
