The similarity is obvious the second Vanessa Carlton‘s new single “Carousel” (2011) starts. The piano and vocal melody sounds a lot like the chorus of Cyndi Lauper‘s 1986 hit “True Colors”.
According to a tweet by Carlton on 4/3/2011 “Carousel” was “…A tune [she] woke up singing”.
Vanessa Carlton - "Carousel" (2011)
Cyndi Lauper - "True Colors" (1986)
Both of these clips also sound like the chorus of Avici’s “The Days”
