Thanks to Augie for sending me this.
Adding to the Lady Gaga on ThatSongSoundsLike we have a new single called “Born This Way” that suffers from a strong resemblance to Madonna‘s 1989 hit “Express Yourself”. It sounds like Gaga used the old “use the chorus as the verse trick”. Have a listen to these edits.
Enjoy!
Lady Gaga “Born This Way” verse and Madonna “Express Yourself” chorus
Lady Gaga - "Born This Way" (2011)
Madonna - "Express Yourself" (1989)
Verse and Choruse of both
Lady Gaga - "Born This Way" (2011)
Madonna - "Express Yourself" (1989)
I also included Madonna’s “Vogue” (1990) since there is a similar “talking” style in this Gaga track as well.

The last one is actually Vouge. Lady Gaga is dumb…
Thanks. My bad!
I think Lady Gaga’s “You and I” sounds a bit like “What’s up” by 4 Non Blondes.
Just for fun, listen to “Born This Way”, “Express Yourself”, and then “Walk Away” by Kelly Clarkson…
Thanks Dr. Keats. There is definitely a similarity with the “Walk Away” chorus.
I totally agree with “you and I” sounding like what’s up by 4 non blondes. I also think it sounds similar to a hit from 2005 called “breathe (2 am)” by Anna nalick. And for “born this way” it def sounds similar to “walk away”
You’re right, Candace. 2 AM (Breathe) bears a striking resemblance to the chord progressions in “You And I,” though the meter and phrasing is different. Check out Joe Cocker’s cover of the Beatles tune, “With A Little Help From My Friends” and you’ll hear another striking resemblance.
None of these songs sound like Annie Lennox. I think we can all agree on that.
Kool and the Gang – “Ladies Night”
Lady Gaga – “Scheiße”
Another great one! Wow!

Thanks Travis!
Hm, maybe the first 4 notes of the Sin Miedo chorus are similar, but not so much the rest.
Listen to Ma Baker by Boney M and there’s a clear yanking on Gaga’s behalf.
We need to keep count of the many songs sampled by Gaga.
HA. Maybe I can have a “GAGA COUNT:” in the sidebar.
You can search “gaga” on the site to see what else is up here:

Ladies Night & Scheibe DO have that same backbeat. Gaga, what the hells up with that?! 🙁
is it a well-known fact that madonna’s “express yourself” is a rip-off of the staple singers’ “respect yourself”?? how come i never see this mentioned anywhere??
Good call!!
What about “Waterfalls” by TLC?
Born this way verses sounds the same as the Waterfall verses
That’s a pretty good one!
indeed!
