    This was submitted in a comment on The Beatles vs. Bon Jovi. I didn’t make this addition, but I added I’d Rather Go Blind by Etta James (1968) (which Rod covered) and Bitter Wine by Bon Jovi (1995), the Bon Jovi song even having a line saying I’d rather go blind, so considering the similarity between all these songs, it seems Bon Jovi got I’ll Be There for You (1988) from I’d Rather Go Blind. I also have said about Underneath the Neon Lights by The Kinks.

    On a different subject, with the recent release of Led Zep’s Presence, In Through the Out Door and Coda Deluxe Editions, completing the series, no one can seek an injunction against the rereleases of any of their albums.

      Yes, I understand, but ideally, it would be good to know more of the story in advance, although with nearly 10,350 comments, the site comes to resemble a maze. On another topic, can anyone tell me which song the chorus of Lips Are Moving by Meghan Trainor sounds like? I know All About that Bass, amongst other things, sounds like Four and Twenty Hours by Nana Mouskouri (1977) and I’m sure Lips Are Moving sounds like something, but I can’t place the song.
