  • This Video Should Be Called  "Cat Steven VS A-Ha : Take On Me."

  • similar? kind of. the same? of course not. thousands of artists use the same chord progressions and even similar melody lines, it's western music, there's not too many millions of options.  and besides, why isn't satriani being accused of ripping off cat stevens then? the whole thing is so stupid, and i find it rather crazily suspicious that there is only a big deal about coldplay's biggest, most money-making song. people are stupid

  • well they say that cat stevens was copied by satch and then satch was copied by coldplay however the only two that sound exactly the same pretty much are satch and coldplays. cat stevens version sounds alot different than the other two

  • Coldplay... Great performers but let's be honest. They rip off songs worse than Zepplin who basically ripped off their entire first album.

    Must be some british tradition of 'honor'

  • They're not even kind of alike. You wanna put a stop to all music sounding the same? Find that fucking drum machine that's being used by every piece of R'n'B 'music' currently infesting the charts and cut the fucking plug off it.

  • its the LAST PART OF COLDPLAYS SONG!! HAHA NOT THE BEGINNING! .. its identically the same... no one can say he didnt steal it .. Foreigner Suite is an EPIC!

  • bullshit

  • two notes are the same big deal....

  • @superclaydude Cat steven's song sounds more like If i could fly than viva la vida does to either...

  • @MrXCalibur54 yes they do ... your listening to the wrong parts ... its mainly that the lyrics from coldplay match the pitch of the piano note

  • @TyTyMcBerg Cat Stevens said he doesn't want to sue Satriani. Not to mention Coldplay has been accused of ripping off several other songs. They are band of plagiarists, they don't deserve the fame they have

  • the two songs don't really sound anything like. only by a long stretch of the imagination are they similar. :/
