Hey! This sounds like......

RichardWitt · September 21st, 2006, 08:27 PM

Just read the Gary Moore thread and it made me remember something I picked up on a few years back. While working out Lionel Ritchie's song "Hello" (Don't ask!), I was noodling around with chords and playing the chorus in different rhythms and tempos and before I knew it I was playing "Still got the blues", then when I sat back and thought about the solo/melody that Gary plays, it sounds along the lines of Lionel's vocal line in the chorus of "Hello"! Thus I am convinced that Gary Moore borrowed from Lionel Ritchie! Or this just could be my mind??? (Funnily enough, I was doing a medly of the 2 songs to point it out to people and get a laugh out of them at the same time!)

Does anyone have a similar suspicion about a song/s?

Ever notice the similarities between Garth Brooks "Shameless" (actually a Billy Joel tune), and Jimi Hendrix "Bold as Love"? It's almost the same chord progression going by twice as fast. It seems that I read somewhere that Billy Joel actually wrote that as a tribute to Jimi.

I had to play Lionel Ritchie's "Hello", along with "Dancing on the Ceiling" every night for years while working on ships.

I don't know about you guys, but I think Herb Alpert's "Mexican Shuffle" dovetails nicely with Buck Owens' "Buckaroo."

Also, at the end of the chorus to Big and Rich's "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" I can't help but sing "and the colored girls go..."

G-Yo · September 23rd, 2006, 11:32 PM

"What I like about you... you really know how to dance..."

and

"R-O-CK in the USA"

Phish's "Farmhouse" and parts of Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry" sound a lot alike.

mojocasterman · September 23rd, 2006, 11:56 PM

WEll, it's funny because once I learnt how to play "Wonderful Tonight" - the first tune I learnt on the gee-tar - I could also play Stuck on You by Lionel Richie. Talk about killin' two birds w/ one stone, Rollin' or not...

Sounds like Lionel has some great material to borrow from for blues guitarists?

He''s so fine and My Sweet Lord???

RichardWitt · September 24th, 2006, 12:54 PM

Ok! I just found out this one, just had to find the artist and song!

Shooter Jennings - "Gone To Carolina"/ Bon Jovi - "Wanted Dead Or Alive"

How does he think that anyone's gonna miss that?

I listened to Shooter's new album incessantly for about 2 weeks after it came out, and "Dead Or Alive" is the only Bon Jovi song I liked. I never noticed. I can't 3even reconcile the two in my head!

I dunno? Maybe it's just me but I couldn't stop hearing "Dead or Alive" while I was listening to that song?

U2's "Bullet The Blue Sky" sounds just like Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold".

Jumping Jack Flash riff

Volvoguy · September 24th, 2006, 09:23 PM

That's crazy. At work earlier today, one of my co-workers was playing that gary moore song, and i kept singing "I can see it in your eyes, i can see it in your smile, you're all i ever wanted, etc....."
It got him kinda mad as he loves gary, and hates lionel.

Maybe a little not country, but everytime I hear that new Green Day song "Boulevard of broken dreams" i start singing "Wonderwall" by oasis.

You can do the same thing with "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Pinball Wizard".

Or "Yellow Rose of Texas" and any Emily Dickinson poem.

mark norwine · September 25th, 2006, 01:41 PM

and of course, the lyrics to "Green Acres" sit nicely atop "Purple Haze"

I'd always heard that you should pair Emily Dickinson with the "Gilligan's Island" theme. Try it once and you'll hear it each time you read one of those poems. Cheers them up a bit, too.

Bob Marley's 'Buffalo Soldier' and The Banana Splits' theme song.
