George Michael's Faith - something I just noticed after twenty years I'm surprised I didn't catch on since Wham's Make It Big was so engrained into my DNA/early childhood....
The intro to "Faith" is the melody to "Freedom" (1984 composition). 
My fam had the "Faith" 45 and used to jam that too, so it really has been twenty full years until I realized this. 
Was this as obvious to everyone else?  | |

Don't feel bad about it, Cin.
I, myself, probably won't notice it for yet another twenty years or so. | |

I can't believe anyone wouldn't notice this...
Having said that, it was only a few weeks ago that I noticed the organ intro to Faith and the organ intro to Where The Streets Have No Name are very similar. Seriously, I was listening to the Joshua Tree re-master and 30 seconds in I expected to hear George Michael's acoustic guitar. And both songs/albums came out in 1987. | |

I didn't notice either until now. And I know every note of both of those albums. Even "Credit Card Baby." 
Thank you for pointing that out. | |

I miss George. Why can't he stop looking for hookups and bless us.  | |

I've noticed that this song sucks more and more each decade, but still makes me feel real gay whenever I sing along with it. test | |

it was called Freedom 90', cause Wham also has a song called Freedom.
I remember hearing Faith all the time in kindergarten on the radio | |

Noticed it the first time I heard it in '87. Just listened to Faith a few days ago. Classic album!! Just wonderful... | |

fairly unrelated, but I heard "Bad Boys" at the Ace Hardware in Hanapepe, Kauai, HI, last week. "Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you." - Kahlil Gibran | |
