Ripping off other tunes

[Kobayashi]

So I stuck on a Nils Lofgren album, chilled out Sunday morning, and thought I'd got albums mixed up. First track side 2 is Sweet Midnight, listen to this then Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer, released the following year...

I can’t be arsed to link the Ghostbuster Theme song.

Also: virtually all of Led Zeppelin’s early catalogue.

Ode to Joy and … whatever that Manfred Mann sing was, that was based on it.

Air on a G String - Whiter Shade of Pale.

Lots of stuff that most of us don’t realise, some of it not ‘rip-off’ just a nod to or ‘based on’. Plus the ‘sampling’ that the majority of people who listen to it are unaware and couldn’t give tel fucks where the original cake from.

Sorry for the ‘too late to edit’ typos.

Rock's starts as a rip off of werewolves of London and then becomes a rip off of sweet home alabama, and he even nicks the lyrics.

I don't see that much similarity between werewolves of London and sweet home alabama without the shite kid rock song ripping them both off. I suppose they are played in a similar rhythm, but with different instruments playing different notes. Sweet Home alabama the better of the two of them to be fair.
