Planet Earth/Take That!!!

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but here goes...

Listen 2 Planet Earth (the song)... the "vamp" section has reminded me of something for a while and I couldn't place it... Just listening to local radio they played "Could It Be Magic?" by Take That. Then it hit me! Have a listen and u may see what i mean...
We ain't from Hollywood, so you know it's all good

There's a part in this song that reminds me of "Arthur's Theme" by Christopher Cross.

Thought that the first time I heard it - It's by Bary Manilow though (TT covered it)

It has.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

And Manilow stole it from Chopin.

It reminds me of the instrumental break in "Sailing" by Chistopher Cross, check it out!

If it's "Could It Be Magic," it's Chopin. The entire song is based on a Chopin prelude.

Actually the end of PE sounds similar to end of The Beautiful Ones.

Probably just similar key and chord progression.

I think only the chorus falls into the chopin chords, the vocal melody is a different mood. This part:

Spirit move me every time I'm near you
Whirling like a cyclone in my mind
Sweet Melissa, angel of my lifetime
Answer to all answers I can find

that part above has the melody of Prince's intrumental break which is also like the break in "Sailing" by Cross

The part of Manilow that sounds like Chopin to me is:

Baby, I love you, come, come, come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby, I want you now, now, now, and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last?
