Plagiarism - not so naughty, everybody does it so what have you noticed ?

Under Pressure was shamelessly ripped off Ice Ice Baby. Don't know how nobody mentions that one.

I Always think Panic Station by Muse is a combination of Another one bites the dust and Suicide Blond

You could probably find hundreds of songs that sound a bit like TYMD, or riffs that sound like it at least.....it's pretty much a basic riff in A....

I remember back when Van Halen III came out (the Gary Cherone era! :P) there were a lot of people saying the opening riff of 'Josephina' was ripped off from Sweet Lady.....(listening to it again, the whole thing does sound sorta May-ish)

As does Unchained by Van Halen (same chords anyway). But that's where the similarities end.

Don't forget about porn.

Also, Hitler. And time travel. And Godwin's law of time travel: whatever you change in the past or in the future results in the Nazis winning. Anything at all.

So, we're basically down to time travelling nazi-porn featuring cat-on-guitarist action and a really freaky meta-soundtrack of songs that all sound alike...and just before it gets 'good' (note the quotation marks), you spot Hitler in the background only to get a voiceover that says "no, you lose the argument because you mentioned Hitler". < RANT > I fucking hate those people who try to taboo Hitler and nazis by screaming "GODWIN!!!!" as soon as they are mentioned. That's THE way to make meaningful debate about the unpleasant sides of our history impossible. And yes, we have adopted more from the nazis than we care to admit. < / RANT >

Don't forget MJ's Thriller. Hell, even the lyrics match up in places.

Speaking of Van Halen - the riff in House Of Pain sounds much like SCC.

Yes but 'Thriller' owes its very existence to 'Hot Space', according to Dr May.

What? Where did he say that? That's hilarious.

Some time before Jacko kicked it. The day after he died he also mentioned something about that, although not using the same words.
