I always thought  Billy Ocean's "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going"  bass line sounded a bit like the bass line to "Body Language"

Sly Fox's  "Lets go all the way"  has the "We Will Rock You" Beat too.

Also I think  the guitar solo to "Cosmos Rocking"   sounds like the "go,go,..go johny , go, go"  section from Chuck Berry's "Johny B Goode"
Joyful the sound
Its often been said that the piano part in Somebody To Love sounds a bit  like unchained melody
When I first heard "Keep on Believing" by Grand Prix, I thought it was a new Queen single - combination of the guitar lead-up to the chorus, the anthemic chorus, and the guy actually sounds like Freddie (but only in the chorus).
You listen to some shite....

I think thats largely due to the style of the song - its just straightforward rock n roll - a 3 chord affair exactly like Johnny B Goode and other songs of that era and Brian plays a solo in keeping with that style.
Its nigh on impossible to play a song like that and NOT sound like Johnny B Goode - listen most of Chuck Berry's other songs to confirm this, hehe!

Chic's "Good time"  sounds a bit like the riff from "Another one Bites the Dust".

"Good Times" was released in 1979. I believe John was heavily influenced by this song when creating the AOBTD bass lines.
