Don't see the similiarity at all. The Yahoo sing is an electro song, while Cool is a rock based ballad. They couldn't be more different.

Yeah it;s similar...

Wouldn't say it's a rip off...

Only you has a descending melody while, While cool ascends.

It was def influenced

rip off...

nah...

Only You, obviously superior

but cool's cool

This seems to be more influenced by Joshua Radin's rendition rather than Yazoo
