Radiohead is Suing Lana Del Rey for “Creep” Soundalike

Long time readers and listeners of this site might not be too surprised about this current lawsuit and soundalike. Back in 2009 I posted about the similarities of Radiohead’s 1992 hit “Creep” and The Hollies “The Air That I Breathe” (1974). Since then some readers have suggested some new ones. And today it has come to my attention that Radiohead is suing Lana Del Rey for her song “Get Free” (2017).  It’s definitely pretty similar. But what about all of these other songs before??? Have a listen to to all of them!

Wow!  You don’t have to listen hard to hear this one. The chugging intro of “Mr. Brownstone” (1987) sounds a bit too much like the intro of Adam and the Ant’s 1980 track “Making History”. Check it out!

Guns N' Roses - "Mr. Brownstone" (1987)
Adam and the Ants - "Making History" (1980)

Sia “Cheap Thrills” sounds like Toto “Africa”

Sia has been killing it. Her songs are great and her videos are super original. I was certainly curious when David sent this comparison in and I definitely heard the musical similarity in Toto‘s 1982 “Africa” as well. Have a listen to Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” with this classic from Toto. Just focus your ears on the chord progression:

SIA - "Cheap Thrills" (2016)

Toto - "Africa" (1982)
