The chorus of Jermaine Jackson‘s “When the Rain Begins to Fall” is strangely familiar to Britney Spears‘ 2011 track “Hold it Against Me”. When I first heard this track I also thought about Survivor’s “Can’t Hold Back” (1984) [who appear previously on ThatSongSoundsLike] and Cutting Crew‘s 1986 hit “(I Just) Died in Your Arms”. It won’t be much of a surprise that this Spears track was produced by none other than Dr. Luke who has made numerous appearances on this site.

Vs
Cutting Crew – (I Just) Died in your arms
when i heard “died in your arms” for the 1st time in a long time..i get the feeling within temptation nicked it a bit..i could be off base with this one
I’d Die For You- Bon Jovi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy4yXNWWruI
I think this one’s closer.
i know bellemy brothers werent exactly thrilled when they heard a certain line in britneys song
but then again the legendary groucho marx was known for using that line before the bellemys
I would also classify all the above, except for “(I Just) Died in Your Arms” , to be the same melody as the CatrianiPlay group.
Yup! Definitely.
