My favourite is Status Quo's 'Down Down' copying the melody from their own 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men'. Never noticed it until Rossi himself pointed it out in an interview. To be fair, he did say that, as he was writing it, it was unintentional but when he realised he thought 'sod it'. Good call - his only number one. Maybe less of a rip off, more of a self-Spackman?

Drum part nicked by New Radicals from XTC cost them £70,000.
Funny you mention New Radicals. Was just reading they will be re-uniting for a one off gig - the Biden inauguration thing - to play the one song that was a hit about 20 years (that until recently I always thought was World Party)
Love the corny first line:
Wake up, kids, we got the dreamers disease
I can imagine the songwriter this very moment updating this part of the lyric:
Health insurance, rip-off flying FDA, big bankers buying Fake computer crashes dining Cloning while they're multiplying Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson You're all fakes, run to your mansions Come around, we'll kick your asses!
Qanon, Steven Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, and the MyPillow Guy all deserve an ass-kicking. And that’s just from the last week. MyPillow, my word what a fcuking dramatis personae of ghouls and fcukwits four years of Trump has brought to the surface. You couldn’t make it up.

You Get What You Give is one of my all time favourite songs of all time. Makes me feel happy which makes me happy. Magnificent song.
I was only thinking yesterday I don’t know anything by World Party apart from Karl was in The Waterboys and they had a song called World Party. Who said pop will eat itself?
What’s MyPillow? Never heard of it until now. By your explanation, I don’t think I want to know.
This whole damn world can fall apart......

In his book, Rod The Mod admitted "accidentally" nicking this Brazilian song for Do Ya Think I'm Sexy after he spent a bit of time in Rio. Pretty blatant!

Yep, still as blatant as it was when I posted it on page 1.

Nice to see you on here Brian. Did you manage to get any money out of Brucie for that one?
haha, Mike Love stole it from Bruce. Brian is innocent
