Pink - That Song Sounds Like

For more than 30 years Green Day has been churning out three chord pop-punk gems that make you feel like you’re fifteen years old again (and if you’re 15 and reading this you’ll understand one day). They do it really well. Sometimes TOO well. There’s a good reason why some of those catchy riffs cut right into your brain – you’ve heard them before.

I’m not here to accuse Green Day of intentionally stealing musical ideas but it just so happens that Green Day comes up quite a lot when looking at these comparisons. This might be the biggest compilation on this site to date! There are even some cases where the scenario is reversed. Let’s have a listen!

One Eyed Bastard (2024)

I also couldn’t help hear something else in the Green Day song. The Offspring “Self Esteem” maybe? I dunno, there’s probably a hundred pop punk songs that this part could be compared to. Have a listen!

Oh Love (2012)

21 Guns (2009)

Chorus:

Verse:

What about the guitar solo? I found something interesting 🙂

I’ve been following Justin Hawkins on TikTok and he has a great video about Green Day’s new single (follow him, he will entertain you!). Here’s the YouTube version to save you from a TikTok void. “One Eyed Bastard” (2024). Apparently fans are pointing out that the opening riff sounds a lot like Pink’s 2008 “So What”. Pink’s track also bears resemblance to Deep Purple’s 1970 “Black Night”. (sidenote, Max Martin has made a few appearance on this site, including this lawsuit from a Katy Perry song and another appearance for an Ariana Grande song)

And with that said, here are some clips to listen to and think about:
