World Party's "When You Come Back To Me" sounds pretty much exactly lke "Young Americans" . . . but I'm sure that's by design (homage).

I'll have to listen to 1000 Light Years Away From Here again with this in mind . . .

about World Party, by design... yes. im not sure homage is the right word though. its from the film Reality Bites. the trailer actually used Young Americans, they probably either couldnt afford the the song for the film or was refused rights to use it, so more like they had someone write a nearly identical yet legally different song to fill the spot.

Oh wow - I never knew that Young Americans was in the trailer! Your reasoning seems pretty spot on then!

Similar to the Ghostbusters story.
