Another rip-off of "Wherever U Go.." ?

I heard a new song by Oasis(?) that sounds like the RAVE track. I'm not familiar with them so I could be wrong...

Another rip off?

I thought "Wherever U GO" was already clearly a rip off
from "Every breath You Take" by Sting & The Police..

No man, it was a rip off of that horrible Richard Marx track, I think it is called "Waiting For You"...

Didn't Lenny Kravitz rip off this song too? On his single "Again"?

It's like a conveyor belt factory. I cannot get a visual image of Liam and Noel putting Rave into their hi-fi.

I'm just a bit curious why so many seem to know Richard Marx's music. I remember him as a competent if boring songwriter. Would never buy an album of his.

That song was every-stinkin-where on the radio when it came out. It's one of those songs that burns itself into your memory whether you want it to or not...lol
