Update 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.

Lauryn Hill – “Doo Wop (That Thing)” (1998)
Grizzly Bear – “Two Weeks” (2009)

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 for 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!
