Update for Dr. Dre vs. Phoenix

A while back Haji brought to my attention Grizzly Bear‘s 2009 track “Two Weeks” and somebody else just posted a comment pointing out Lauryn Hill‘s 1998 Track “Doo Wop (That Thing)”.  All with that familiar piano jingle.

Lauryn Hill - "Doo Wop (That Thing)" (1998)

Grizzly Bear - "Two Weeks" (2009)

Dr. Dre - "Still D.R.E. " (2000)
Phoenix - "Victim of the Crime" (2004)

The Killers vs. Boys Like Girls

Wow. I don’t know how Boys Like Girls is getting away with this one. The chorus of their recently released track “Love Drunk” sounds just like The Killers‘ 2004 dance floor jam “Somebody Told Me”.  Have a listen:

The Killers - "Somebody Told Me" (2004)

Boys Like Girls - "Love Drunk" (2009)

This was sent in by Brian in Miami and Gigi.

Is Sublime’s “What I Got” ripped from a Beatles song?


This one was sent in by Nicolas, Jessie and Michael.

The Beatles released “Lady Madonna” in 1968. I’m gonna guess that Sublime was busy shooting heroine heroin and listening to The Beatles while writing their soon to be hit “What I Got”.
