TOOOOOTALLY! I've always said that.


Let's not forget the obvious law suit:
"Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker was a total rip of "I Want A New Drug" from Huey Lewis, and a court said as much.

Good one.

The SOS Band 'Take Your Time'/The SOS Band 'Do It Now'

They basically ripped off themselves "Do It Now" is a copycat single that sounds just like the previous hit.

Kylie Minogue "On a Night Like This" is a J-Lo "Waiting for Tonight" ripoff.
Faith Hill "There You'll Be" is a Celine Dion "My Heart Will Go On" ripoff.
Tina Turner "When the Heartache Is Over" is a Cher "Believe" ripoff.
Beyonce "Be With You" is an Adina Howard "Freak Like Me" ripoff.

For "Black or White", Michael also borrowed parts of "Hungry Like The Wolf", from Duran Duran.

Now I need to go listen to both songs to see if I can pick up on the notes. THIS is interesting!

Timmy84 said:

Wow,I never thought about this before! I also think that The Commodores "borrowed" from 'Devotion'.Their song "This Is Your Life" (the verses) has a similiar melody.

The "swing low, sweet chariot" section of "MotherShip Connection" = Shalamar's "Night To Remember"= Culture Club's "Miss Me Blind" = Duran's Duran's "The Reflex"

Skyy's "Call Me' = Prince's "Sexy Dancer"

Prince's "Shockadelica" = Stevie's "Maybe Your Baby"

Rahsaan Patterson's "Burnin" = Prince's "A Love Bizarre" and "Screams of Passion"

Janet's "Funny How Time Flies" = MJ's "Lady In My Life"

MJ's "Tabloid Junkie" = The Sounds Of Blackness "Everything's Gonna Be Alright"

Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" = The Jackson's "Show You The Way To Go"

I know Stevie said the music for "Part-Time Lover" was inspired by two earlier tracks from The Supremes, but the song sounds more like a rip-off of Hall and Oates' "Maneater"

Alexander O'Neal - "All True Man"
ripped off by:
Keith Washington - "When You Love Somebody"

Janet Jackson - "Rhythym Nation"
ripped off by:
Michael Jackson - "Black Or White"

Boyz II Men - "End Of The Road"
ripped of by:
Boyz II Men - "I'll Make Love To You"

The Rolling Stones "Miss You"/The Rolling Stones "Emotional Rescue"

These are practically the same song

Bunny Sigler "Let Me Party With You" (1979) is a total rip-off of Marvin Gayes' 1977 hit "Got To Give It Up".

Sucks to be Huey Lewis.

M on the other hand sounds like he probably was happy his sound was imitated at all.
