When the song by Gorillaz starts with the verse, windmill, windmill, the melody is clearly taken from U2’s song, Staring at the Sun. If you can’t come up with your own material, please get out of the music biz & go sing karaoke. In instances like that, imitation is CLEARLY not the best form of flattery-it’s called plagiarism, not creativity.
Btw, I hadn’t listened to U2 in ages, so it would have taken me forever to figure it out. The first verse sounds like another song I can’t place, also. This thread is so old, so who knows if I’ll hear anything back. However, thank you for helping me to place the real artists.
And Road to Mandalay by Robbie Williams (2000). I’ve suggested others on the page on Jets to Brazil vs Nirvana.
