Copy-cat Songs?

[kesto4]

So today I was listening to some old Sum 41 and 'All Messed Up' came up and I thought it sounded VERY similar to Goldfinger's single of their most recent time, 'One More Time'. Am I just imagining things or did Goldfinger copy A LOT of things in the song? Just take a listen and give your 2 cents...
Again the two songs are:
Sum 41 - All Messed Up
Goldfinger - One More

Pretty Odd. All of it.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

At least they copied the right band to do it.

[voncorn]

The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Face Down

[FeynmanWannabe]

Green Day - Warning (the album) is composed on 90% nods to The Kinks.

[kesto4]

Lostprohets - Can't Stop, Gotta Date With hate (2006)
The All-American Rejects - I'm waiting (2005)

The chorus...IS almost exactly the same...the only difference is on the falling part the lostprophets make the first descending note longer than the second, otherwise EXACTLY the same

This is pretty much an EXACT copy...I'm surprised AAR didn't sue

[kesto4]

The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Face Down
Those sound nothing alike. 'The Kids Alright' slowly progresses upwards in pitch during its chorus, while 'Face Down' moves up and down. The only part that is remotely similar is "Face Down in the dirt, she said this doesn't hurt" and it is still plenty different. It only moves up once in pitch progressively, while 'The Kids Aren't Alright' moves up in pitch progressively several times.

That is a very weak claim.

The overall verse and chorus composition of both songs are still very similar, when I unfortunately heard Face Down I was instantly reminded of The Kids Aren't Alright, almost as if that poor excuse of a band modeled their lame hit after The Offspring's glorious anthem.

i actually noted this once, but never gave it any thought

ratatat has only one song remixed heavily many times, i swear!

[willowjones]

They obviously has no friends and just wants attention. tell them straight out that its really bothering you and that its not cool.
you can still be "friends" but lay off some and to have their own style. the easiest way is to tell them straight out how you feel and everything without being completely mean to them. hope i helped<3 i know these problems
happen a lot and there super annoying!
best of luck.

dani california by the red hot chili peppers is way too similar to mary jane's last dance by tom petty and the heartbreakers.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Anti-Flag's "Spit in the Face" sounds really similar to "Reaction" by From Ashes Rise.

Starting Line - Hello Houston borrows a riff from Saves the Day - Holly Hox

[matchbox202006]

Go listen to "Think About Me" by the Goo Goo Dolls and "Think About ME" by Sister Hazel. You'll swear your listening to the same song it's crazy!

[onemoresong]

i like both bands but the beginning to "life was all a dream" by before their eyes and "you tell a tale" by just surrender is basically the same.

[shadeofsunlight]

Pretty Odd. All of it.

Ahahaha, yeah. But if there was ever a band to copy...

[onemoresong]

oh, the beginning to "everything is magic" by angels and airwaves is almost exactly like "anthem pt. 2" by blink-182.

[matchbox202006]

the arrangement of Paralyzer by Finger Eleven is almost exactly that of Take Me Out by Franz Ferdenand

[contend in vain]

You Need Love - Willie Dixon
Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin

haha thats from my history of rock and roll class today

[xxmannequin]

Pretty Odd. All of it.


well i mean there's a strong influence of the beatles, but besides behind the sea i wouldn't really sat copy-cat songs.

[kemichels]

Everything by Nickelback is copycat-ed by Nickelback.
