The I Wonder Where They Stole This Idea From Thread

[KingLouieLouie]

Ever listen to a song for the 1st time... and wonder..."Where have I had this song before?" It's hilarious when bands have obviously stole lyrics, a chorus, rhythm...etc from.....In this thread, I will routinely post 2 songs in which this obviously happened..... You can contribute as well....

First up....Green Day.... It's clearly obvious when you listen to both "Warning" and The Kinks "Picture Book" that Green Day is guilty.....

"Picture Book"

Time for me to revive some threads and post newer ones...I've been listening to a lot of Traffic over the past week and one of their songs "Paper Sun" reminds me of "Fire Escape" by Fastball.....especially both respective songs intros....

The Nickleback things is amazing. I can't believe that those songs could be that close and i never noticed it.
