Songs that sound uncannily alike another?.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Simple Minds are not even hummable to me - I've blocked them out for all these years.

Oh my :eek:

EVERY song sounds like another one.

I don't have the time to sum them all up nor to crash the HL database by posting them all ;)

* Under Pressure - Bowie and Mercury / Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice

* Ob-la-di-ob-la-da - The Beatles / Why Don't You Get A Job - The Offspring

* Every song by Nickelback. :urff:

Jamiroquai's entire back catalogue and beyond. How that s**t has gotten away with it for so long is laughable... wanker.

Iron maiden : Afraid of the dark n Temple of Lurve by da Seestas of Merci.

George Bush's rhetoric on the war in Iraq and Global terrorisim . one broken record if I've ever heard over and over again that all sounds the same ( ooh bit of politics there!)

Rosetta Stone and the Sis...oh that was too easy.

Achilles last stand : Led Zepellin and Severina by the Mighty Mishun (even used the same 'fade in') Like we wouldn't notice!! Or, maybe it was done as a tribute to them ? Who knows, excpet if you bought the 'poster' edition of the 12" , Craig is wearing the hat he stole off me in Rock City,Nottingham..the swine!!!

Pretty obvious one, but:

Nirvana - Teen Spirit.
Boston - More than a Feeling.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

This thread is really p!ssing me off because I know there are millions of songs which, when I hear them, remind me of other ones but for the LIFE of me I just cannot think of any once you ask!
