Britney Spears’ “Oops!… I Did It Again” was an international #1 hit in 2000. So was Barbra Streisand’s “Woman in Love” in 1980. These melodies are very similar. But don’t blame Britney, she didn’t write the song. Credits include Max Martin who has also worked with Dr. Luke on tracks like this.

Check out the synth line in Lady Gaga‘s 2010 track “Dance in the Dark” with the smooth sax line in George Michael‘s classic “Careless Whisper”. It’s not spot-on but since this is one of the all time 80s saxophone jams I thought it was worth a post.

This is an interesting one submitted by Travis. Lady Gaga‘s 2011 track “Scheiße” (German for “Shit”) features a verse that has a very strong rhythmic similarity to the chorus of Kool & the Gang‘s 1979 classic “Ladies’ Night”.
