Ive been listening to the radio all day in work. My boss and I where talking about songs that sound the same; especially the intros.

Songs like "Are you gonna be my girl" which sounds like "lust for life" and, according to my boss "cowboys and kisses" sounds like something by the verve.

We both think its annoying when you hear a song intro and expect it to be something different.

Are there any more that you guys can think of? And does anyone think the new scissor sisters song sound farmiliar? I recognise it but dont know where from.

Going back a bit...listen to Snap's "Rythem Is A Dancer" and then listen to Culture Beats "Mr Vain" they sound scarily alike!!

.. that's because "Are you gonna be my girl" by Jet stole the riff from "Lust for Life".

Among many other songs, also.

That'd be Queen "Under Pressure" and Vanilla Ice "Ice Ice Baby"?

This sort of thing happens all the time. I am myself in a band, and seeing as I can't understand sheet music or tabs, all the lyrics I have written have been based on other stuff.
