Song Rip-Offs (a small selection)

Do you know this feeling, when you listen to a song you never heard before, where you think:
"Why is this part so familiar?"
Maybe there's a reason for that :)

1) Every chord progression in existence has been used before.

2) There are only so many possibilities.

3) The entire framework for music, and the ability itself to make music was created by God. So 100% credit goes to God anyway. I can play an E Major chord... he created E Major.

Well heres another one for ya to go with the Crazy Town rip-off. In 2003 UK Garage act "Jamieson" released the track "Complete," peaking at number 4 in the UK Chart. have a search for it, you'll see what i mean.

[Severtized]

Woah, Crazytown should be sued for that one.

[Laughtraxx]

Fergalicious is a rip off of Throw the D by 2 Live Crew

[puje]

You didn't catch that 3:00 is a rip off of Black or White by Michael Jackson? ;)

[rodolfolaterza]

This is just a influence, inspiration!! Same Beatles borrowed many classic tunes in your career!!

[BlackHoleBird]

The Papa Roach singer looks like a pussy version of Till Lindemann

[jomasterjoe]

if u hear papa roach interviewed at least they care about their music unlike most people today

[TheRiffCalendar]

The first song reminded me of Schism with Tool...

[SavaOdy]

Hypocrisy!

[xXdreamscopesXx]

i just love korn!<3<3<3

[RSEmptyWallz]

It's called influence.

Nice video! I liked the Megadeth-Arch Enemy correlation :D Though AILD's Separation does not really resemble the bass line from Hypocrisy. It's more like the 4400 theme and also RHCP's Californication.
