Madonna vs. Victoria Beckham

January 29th, 2010

Submitted by Marte

Wow. Clearly identical vocal melodies. Madonna’s 2008 “Miles Away” sounds so similar to Spice Girl Victoria Beckham’s 2001 solo track “Midnight Fantasy”. Have a listen!

Madonna – “Miles Away” (2008)
Victoria Beckham – “Midnight Fantasy” (2001)

Submitted by Josh.

Jet’s  ”Look What You’ve Done”  borrows heavily from the The Beatles‘ “Sexy Sadie”. Check out the chorus of both.

Franz Ferdinand vs. Finger Eleven vs. Skid Row

January 23rd, 2010

Tobin submitted Finger Eleven’s 2007 track “Paralyzer” vs. Skid Row’s 1988 “Youth Gone Wild”. As soon as I heard “Paralyzer” I thought of  Franz Ferdinand’s 2004 hit “Take Me Out”. Although I’m not totally convinced of the third Skid Row similarity I thought I would post it anyway cause this track is such a classic.

Franz Ferdinand – “Take Me Out” (2004)
Finger Eleven – “Paralyzer” (2007)

Muse vs. Doctor Who

January 14th, 2010

Submitted by Glynis

I’m a big fan of the television theme comparisons here on the site. Last year British rockers Muse put out a track that contains a hook very much like the theme to the  BBC show Doctor Who.  Here’s a sample of the original theme from 1963 followed by the 2007 version recorded by the BBC National Orchestra Of Wales .

Muse – “Uprising” (2009)
“Doctor Who Theme” (1963)
“Doctor Who Theme” (2007)

Love Spit Love vs. Matt Nathanson

January 3rd, 2010

Submitted by Michael

The vocal melody in Matt Nathanson’s 2003 track “Bent” sounds a lot like Love Spit Love’s 1994 track “Am I Wrong”. Have a listen:

Love Spit Love – “Am I Wrong” (1994)
Matt Nathanson – “Bent” (2003)
