But the ob-la-di, ob-la-da/why don't you get a job thing, I thought that since I heard why don't you get a job.

What a joke, these bands should learn how to quit sucking and write their own damn music rather than stealing from the greats. That was definitely “Lady Madonna” being ripped off.

I've been keeping notes on songs that strike me as a bit too familiar, too... One that I find amazingly bold is The Little Ones' "Cha Cha Cha," which borrows the very distinctive drums (tom toms?) and guitar lines from Kings of Leon's "The Bucket." I don't see any attribution on The Little Ones' web site...? Again, thanks for the great post. :) Great post!

I had never made the connection before, but you are both right! Just wanted to let you know it's not just in your head.

Kevin: Yeah I've noticed the similarity in remember and somewhere apart. Also for an almost exact note by note rip-off of "picture book" check steriogram's "walkie talkie man", I think it's really fun (and yes, it is a more creative ripoff than "warning") Thanks for sharing these with me, some are very subtle to be considered rip-offs (wolf at the door/lucy in the sky with diamonds) but you’re right after close inspection those songs you mention do sound a lot alike.
