Similarities in songs... Just for fun!!!

[FvantomX]

[Raktasdelespacio]

The Ghostbusters Theme is by Ray Parker Jr.

[panchogordo1]

Terence Jay - One Blood is a complete ripoff of Brothers in Arms.

you cant blame paris its not like she wrote any of it anyway

[LocketXAngelXKiss]

I don't know if it's just mean, but some of these didn't even sound alike to me.

[bigtemarifan]

@LocketXAngelXKiss A lot of times it's the bassline

[TVindustries5000]

louie louie vs wild thing

funny thing the troggs actually covered louie louie

i love the troggs

[Goldiesly]

[mikigohan96]

AWW i love micheal buble! :D lol wow nice video xD

[Goldiesly]

Avril Lavigne cant even write a line of a song

[TheUndeadAmerican]

Green Day are thieves... they stole my lunch money.

[b00i00d]

It woulda helped if you'd actually juxtaposed the songs in pairs within each vid, cos we all know the pairings...

[lucaalbano8]

David Usher além de copiar across the universe copiou o título de outra música dos beatles, a day in the life.

[Ennio444]

Michael Bublé's "Save the Last Dance for Me" is a version of an older song, which has been covered by the Beatles themselves, I think. Nothing to do with Hey Jude.

@ dongkyun24- How are you even allowed on the internet?

@ player12345ification- Hahahahahahaha.......yeah, I don't think so.

[SoulWolff]

The most shocking thing to me in this video was that Paris Hilton is a musician.

[23kennyboy23]

what a surprise its avril lavigne, paris hilton and greenday ripping off.

[nimpe88]

I thought the two songs in the 8th were the same song.

[MrRagingFury]

Chuck Berry is the best in Rock and Roll hands down.

[sparrowlena]

This fascinates me. Is that wierd?

[Cheyennell]

Avril is the worst!

[TheUltimateNoob001]

What people need to remember is that there are certain riffs that many people know. The Berry-Beach Boys example fits perfectly. Those songs use the old twelve bar blues pattern, a riff that can be found in hundreds of songs.

[goolizap]

@TheUltimateNoob001 a riff is an actual melody, while a blues pattern has to do with the chord progressions....yeah, the progression (or pattern) is used in many songs, but the riff is not really

[itsJKtime]

the Beatles and Michael Buble one is a stretch...

[hangebicom]

Regarding rolling stones-rubinooes-avril, the classic "hey (solist) - hey (answer by choir)", is only similarity between them, and that comes from gospells, not from pop music :D

[TheChihuahuamaster]

*screams*

[extralars123]

sorry dipshit koreans green day wins

[dongkyun24]

Give the Koreans the credit for American Idiot!!! We think you guys are idiots anyways.

[chb0512]

Jo Young Nam's song name is '도시여 안녕', in English, Bye Bye City.

Jo Young Nam 's song is kind of old. So there is a possibiliy that Greenday copied it.

[JohnnyDarkoKelly]

The thing is so many pop songs are four chord songs. Eventually, there are no more variations so intentionally or unintentionally older songs get recycled

[THEFALLEN093]

there are so many songs in the world some are bound to sound like others

[FM897]

"Lay back, it's all been done before...." It sure has :-\

[jenawho11]

really greenday really

[kendrian]

The Paris Hilton/UB40 thing isn't a rip-off so much as both using a very simple backbeat. Listen to any Ska or Reggae song and you'll find something similar.

[bestgrimbarianever]

wow this is awesome and weird lol

[hangebicom]

Actually, there's another ripoff of GhostBusters - "Invisible Man" by Queen.

[anko8aug]

ahh the great music artist ripped off 

[sundayafternoon411]

the paris hilton is the most alike to ub40

[ThatGassettGuy]

number 2 NO WAY Jesus is a 10min song wtf is wrong with you

[tiger7128816]

@ThatGassettGuy Hey dickface, READ THE VID DESCRIPTION!

[17jododd]

UB40 should totally sue Paris Hilton, rich bitch deserves to have some money taken from her.

[17jododd]

UB40 should totally sue paris hilton, rich bitch deserves to have some money taken away from her.

[cristixyz]

i wouldnt call it spooky :D

[neonatalpenguin]

Doesn't the song Save The Last Dance pre-date Hey Jude? Also Green Day were quite open about ripping off The Kinks. I think they payed them royalties from the get-go.

[greenorange75]

0:04 I thought a screamer was gonna come. xD

[CODKoblerz]

One of the MOST important things you forgot is to add the years the songs were made because sometimes it may song like one band is ripping off the other when its truly the other way around

[6Hellbilly6Deluxe6]

i think Greenday litterally just translated that korean song...

the korean guy has just been slagging america all along haha.

[592johngalt]

Just wanted to point out that "Save The Last Dance For Me" was first recorded by The Drifters in 1960, and "Hey Jude" was released in 1968, so I don't think Michael Buble ripped off The Beatles here, unless his unborn soul sang Hey Jude for the first song's writers.

Also, you might have included Badfinger's "Without You" and Valentina Hasan's "Ken Lee."

[AndiNeverSlice]

This video needs Jack Johnson ripping off JEsus Dont Want me for a Sunbeam

[alexsis97]

omg vanessa hudgens and avril lavigne seriously like not plagiarism but not coincidence hahah

[Matjex]

green day is just a big rip off...

[TheFirstFallenAngel1]

@Matjex No! Green Day writes their own ORIGINAL songs! Its just a coincidence!

[mjwalk5]

@TheFirstFallenAngel1 fanboy

[wilmergamueda]

I i can't imagine greenday listening to a japanese song?

[wilmergamueda]

I i can't imagine greenday listening to a japanese song?

[Spiderwick1989]

l'artiste de la chanson des ghostbusters est ray parker jr.

[Tweekki]

great post. you could have added richie valen's ooh my head vs led zeppelin's boogie with stu (they even added a tribute to mrs valens in an out of courst settlement)

[faleru]

everyone copies

[Mrlzman]

I honestly cannot hear the similarity between Ghostbuster and I Want a New Drug. I guess there must be some, for it to go into settlement, but I just cannot hear what it is. I guess there is some sort of advanced musical explanation about the chordchanges or something.

[jaj145]

lol

5:45

the copier is now the coppied!

[Danidrow10]

The other option (besides plagerism or coincidence) is that their songwriters were connected in some way- maybe even the same songwriters.

[DuncanMinett]

Wow Green Day...with all the press Coldplay has been getting with Joe Satriani, GD has slipped through unscathed. I always thought American Idiot had places where it sounded like Leader of the Pack. Check out my vid for what I think also shows that Green Day may be more the lifters than Coldplay

[bumpercarsex]

Were any of these things taken to court like the 'Land Down Under' thing was? Did anyone get sued?

[marmadukexxqueen]

chuck berry vs. the beach boys just makes me LOL

[SugarCookietarian]

The Chuck Berry/Beach Boys song... Omg, identical!

[Rocky777]

Oh and David Usher, you are the biggest faggot! its only obvious, the Beatles have a song call A Day in the Life!

[Rocky777]

michael buble definitely stole from the beatles. that mother fucker doesnt write any of his shit! he just gets popular from cover frank sinatra.

[69MaNgIx96]

David Usher you are a gay!! Fuck you, how could you copy Across the Universe from the Beatles?? Just jump from a bridge you idiot!

[69MaNgIx96]

David Usher you are a gay!!!! Fuck you, how could you copy Across the Universe from the Beatles????? Just jump from a bridge you idiot!

[steelyross]

You should have been a little more thorough in your research.

Michael Buble covered "Save the last dance for me". It was originally released in 1960 by the Drifters, where as "Hey Jude" was released in 1968 by the Beatles.

[kerplunk46]

This is all simple maths

[TheCooltrix]

I HAVE ONE!!! compare a prt of green day's "21 guns" with the ending theme song of the show full house! find the music video and start from the part when the young couple start kissing and if u listen closely u'll hear! i got this from a radio station show where they were doing the same thing its weird but to me pretty cool.

[dextr79]

@TheCooltrix Wow I noticed that last year! As a European, it was my first trip to the USA, and walking around in San Francisco I couldn't help but have the Full House theme song in my head all day. And with "21 guns" on the radio a lot, I recognized the Full House theme instantly in the Green Day guitar solo.

[ledzeppsam]

Sean Kingston copied Led Zeppelin >:(

[ghettopenguin92]

The Saw theme (which was played at the beginning of the video) has a very similar riff to Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney and Wings.

[edu00000]

this david usher should be some kind of comediant

[BrQQQr]

Nearly all modern rock music came from The Beatles.

[lolasorocks10]

Tra la la - Banana Splits & Buffalo Soldier - Bob Marley

[ChipmunksLover1]

Chuck Berry actually sued The Beach Boys successfully. Just watch the end of Cadillac Records and it will say so at the end.

[JohnHeaven18]

Beach boys borrow the song... they didnt stole it... and they actually credit it on berry..

[rockandrollgun]

"Ghostbuster" is similar to "Queen - Invisible man" too

[giantbigfatbutwhosme]

have you ever wish you wrote a song? well thats probably all ther problems the rubbinoos and rolling stones sound too much more alike so leave her out of this

[giantbigfatbutwhosme]

vanessa stole from avril if anyone stole cuz i am so sure avril came first with singing

[giantbigfatbutwhosme]

when i saw the paris hilton and other people on i was thinking what song is it then you played the peoples song and i was thinking you were gonn play PARIS HILTON IN JAIL LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

[miglet5]

Avril Definently stole from Peaches

[javiland]

who is Paris Hilton?

[mzarab]

@javiland not a musician.

[ynot217]

Ray Parker Jr got sued and he lost

[themooddisorders]

David Usher sucks

[Knukleheada]

before calling a song a plagiation you should really know a little bit more about making music guys.

[tiger7128816]

@Knukleheada Hey, read my video description before writing stupid accusations like that! I did this vid only for fun... so, shove it.

[squmak]

10th a fatal foursome. the kinks, green day, big and rich, streogram.

[fluffydanny]

Compare,"Elvira" with,"Still Searching."

[angelizer999]

green gay fuckers are shit.

[Knukleheada]

@angelizer999 well, they certainly are better than bryan adams. no argue about that.

[RoflMaoZedung]

Haha, I was reading the comments while Peaches was playing and I didn't even realize when it changed to Avril's song. what a rip-off

[wickedreamingod]

@RoflMaoZedung I was actually reading your comment during that transition and I did the same thing. lol

[PeterOnoLennon]

The people in this who are like 'i didn't notice that so many songs are simular' haven't listened to enough music... of course songs are simular... there's millions of songs and at least a few of them have to sound the same, especially the popular ones... an example would be tik tok by ke$ha and that california girls bullshit by katy perry

[blackfloyd1]

About the first one : there is not a lot of way to make original rock'n'roll... you know three chords and it's done.

[chucktone11]

david usher go die jaja

[kradim]

the kinks and green day man

[EmperorEmpoleon2]

The Beatles vs. David Usher is two plaigiarisms, since The Beatles already claimed that song title.

[DJVM95]

lol Jo Young Man

[masrurkhan]

surely beach boys gave buck chery a writing credit and some royalties, if not id be really surprised if he didnt sue

[RelentlessGuardian]

Wow. Just...wow. Never knew there were THAT many similarities (or should i say duplications?) between songs.

Great vid btw!

[Spaztar]

Damn, there was almost no difference between Avril Lavigne and Peaches. If I hadn't been looking at the screen, I wouldn't have been able to nail down when you started transitioning from Peaches to Lavigne.

[budddees]

there have been no new ideas since socrates.

[bastrodoom]

LOL at rubinoos vs avril lavigne she only changed it to girlfriend XD

[RageATM]

green day sucks sooooo fuckin bad xDDDD

[GreenDay4ever72]

you suck too :)

[Ri1seAgainst]

Monster by skillet

Animal I have become by 3Days Grace

American Badass by Kid Rock

Sad but True by Metallica those two are sampling 3days grace and skillet just sound alike

[aeburfield]

hahahahaha avril stole from peaches...thats so funny!!!

paris hilton is a dumb sl*t. lmao.

[k0ny6]

fucking david usher como le plagia a LOS MAESTROS!!!

[samurail337]

"I don't have to try" iiiiiirrroooooonnyyyy

[ovrkllproductions]

here's one: Entombment of a Machine by Job for a Cowboy and

Godzilla by We Butter the Bread with Butter... i know its an underground band...

they have the exact same main riff and "scream" section, JFAC was the original \m/

[spiritinthe7thsky]

All the legal BS about things like this is rediculous, some songs sound alike because they use the same bars & riffs which become a style of music (chuck & the beach boys) others happen because some songs inspire others to writing, like poetry. This is easy if u are listening to a song u like while stoned. perfect case in point is 'Spirit's song titled Taurus, this is an instrumental track which Jimmy Page listened to that inspired him to come up with the words for Stairway to Heaven.

[Kazuka]

No, the whole intro to Stairway to Heaven was from the song Taurus.

[Jettblackmatt]

big and rich sounds more like walkie talkie man by steriogram.

[shaynapulley]

Chuck Berry vs. The Beach Boys...... ouch.

[AkaTinaSmith96]

@shaynapulley LOL I Guess Chuck Won Though !

[dogboy01]

@shaynapulley Hello 74 morons the beach boys stated they took the song from chuck berry learn ur musical history

[dbfi01]

Im very sorry, but I cant hear The beatles vs buble one. That must be a miss, and tbh the huey lewis one, well, I agree that the start riff might sound like ghostbusters, but when comparing the whole of the 2 songs, its a no go. There are other songs more worthy for that spot.

[sokolsokol27]

LOl'd

Very nice

[ggirl2k8]

haha that UB40 and PH is funny! I didnt know that! :)

and i've always noticed that one with ghostbusters and huey lewis lol

[ggirl2k8]

i can see what you say. they really do all sound alike.

but i think people get their inspiration from other artists. and also all the music from back then is coming back lol :P

nice stuff though :) its really interesting. its like all long time ago with vanilla ice lol

[1foottall]

avril lavigne and green day are copycats!!

[astrofunkification]

save the last dance for me is the drifters not michael buble

[biggi3lue]

OMFG the korean song vs green day's american idot made me bawl

[VDubPQ32]

the American Idiot one DOES sound similar. though most likely a coincidence...(most likely)

[mrselfdestructpart5]

1st one - Berry was given credit for the original song. 2nd one - Closely resembles. 3rd one - (sigh) 4th one - Closely resembles. 5th one - Shameless rip-off. Yuck. 6th one - The original "Save the last dance for me" was by The Drifters in 1960, and "Hey Jude" was in 1968. 7th one - Just like openaircathedral said. 8th one - (sigh) 9th one - LOL. Very close. xD 10th one - Everyone uses that riff from the Kinks. 11th one - The Avril one is a despicable rip off xD.

[SebSk]

@mrselfdestructpart5 Funny about the 4th one (only got this far atm) is that the name of the song is DEFINATLEY ripped off Beatles.. (which is an awesome song btw, especially the bassline - the BEATLES A day in the life)

[player12345ification]

@mrselfdestructpart5 maybe so about avril but she still has the best versions of all of them. even if she did rip them off, she still better than them

[yorkshirecolley]

@player12345ification you think avril lavigne is better than the rolling stones? good lord.

[diabeticmonkey]

@yorkshirecolley I hate both of them. The stones have never appealed to me, and Mick Jagger has a punch face.

[GriffMob]

greenday copies EVERYTHING!

stupid wanabe's

[cronostitan92]

@GreenDayGal7 hahahahaha the chinese guy and american idiot have the same rythm

[VulpinFoxyFinnland]

SAW theme song!!!!

[openaircathedral]

Actually Hewey Lewis sued the dude who did ghostbusters

[MajorVagina]

green day sooooo ripped off joe nam

[Kennylennon5]

Sean Kingston and Led Zeppelin

D'yer M'ker????

[Agentoxedo07]

Holy-Terrorist:>*=* the started is very scare, of the war hackeer

[Ashley9751]

saw this at school today!!

[ikllerbunny]

this old man and the barney theme song XD

[JohnDavidHeptinstall]

But Chuck Berry actually has a writing credit on Surfin' USA. They didnt rip him off as they paid him for it. They're only credited for lyrics.

[oldbluescott]

Yeah, and Bob Marley stole the tune for Buffalo Soldier from the theme song for the Banana Splits.

[Officerjeff]

Well at some point they can't invite something new cause everything already exist so without knowing a song looks like there's, a band can do another one that looks to be the same thing

[VitaMtaVgmn]

About the Beatles vs. Michael Buble: Hey Jude was released as a single in 1968, but " Save the Last Dance for Me" was actually first recorded by Ben E. King and Drifters in 1960, so who took from who?

[Trinivalts]

Holy fuck Green Days a joke, but I knew that before when they said they are making like 3 albums in a year or so... just lol, what can you expect.

[omgcamlolz]

the kinks

vs.

green day

vs.

big & rich

vs.

(steriogram - walkie talkie man)

theres a fourth!

[omgcamlolz]

ub40 is some good reggae to blaze too brahh

[MagnusRulerHardt]

Rockstar - Scotty Doesn't Know

I Got To Find You - Welcome To My Life

Burning Up - Some Maroon 5 song

Love Bug - I'm Yours

And many more. Disney steals.

[MRARROYOonutube]

Havent met you yet + love song

[alfsal67]

When Green Day released their song Basket Case I thought it was a rip-off of the song Breaking Out from the movie Shock Treatment.

Just compare these two here on YT:

Shock Treatment - Oscar Drill and the Bits

Green Day - Basket Case music video (HQ)

And also the masks in the Basket Case video looks like they been taken straight out of the movie Brazil:

Brazil - The Ending

[lorenzo321]

the kinks vs. green day vs. big& rich vs steriogram

"walkie talkie man

[cyberblood21]

Don't mind paris.. she doesn't write her songs anyway..

[Harpenfarker]

@cyberblood21: PROOF!......never "underestimate" the power of 5 blowjobs!!

[cyberblood21]

How about the Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars?

[VinceValentyne182]

How 'bout the alphabet, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Bah Bah Black Sheep? :P

[rockdiamond897]

on the end with 'girlfriend' and them there is another song you could put there........ i dont remember the name but it goes

HEY! (hey) YOU! (you) how do i qualify for

HEY! (hey) YOU! (you) how do i qualify for

HEeeeeyYOU! (you) how do i qualify for you...

anyone know what song i mean?

[virtualaris]

Wow...i like the video you made. Two Thumbs Up !!! I've already planned to upload more look-a-like songs on my tube channel as i just know how to edit video...Checkout my channel, i will upload more videos!!

[c4980]

Avril Lavigne seems to be a little more than a coincidence, a few of the greenday ones are a little to similar too, however a lot of common strum patterns for guitar are similar since a lot of people use the same chords in their songs

[HackMan350]

fuckin love ub40 lol

[kalimoncho51]

great video

[FeloniousDrunk]

I think the Green Day song also sounds a lot like that Bon Jovi song "It's My Life". Just saying...

[kaufmattman]

Believe it or not, the Huey Lewis and the nes song came before the ghost busters song.

[randomeditor]

ghostbuster wanted huey lewis to write their themesong but he refused. the news sued ghostbusters and won
