I get email on a regular basis from readers wanting me to mashup song xyz with zyx. Thomas Irvin doesn’t bother to write me, however. Instead, he catalogs his ideas on his web site.
Ever notice a song whose melody sounds remarkably similar to some other song? I seem to be afflicted by a birth defect that makes me notice these songs all the time. So I’ve compiled this list of songs that sound like other songs. In compiling this list, my goal is to present excerpts of the songs in question and leave any other determinations up to you, the listener.
Lots of great observations in his list. If this doesn’t convince you that almost all art and music is pretty much derivative, I don’t know what will.
