Totally counts

Nick Cave's "There Is A Kingdom" -> Lou Reed's "Perfect Day".

Can't believe I hadn't noticed that before.

Video Game Music Edition:


Super Mario Sunshine's Delfino Plaza pretty much has the same melodic rhythm as Earthworm Jim 2's Ending Theme. Hell, the overall mood is even eerily similar. When I heard Delfino Plaza sampled in a Death's Dynamic Shroud track, I initially thought they had sampled EWJ2.

And Me, from Dinosaur Jr.'s new album has the same or very similar acoustic guitar riff as a Cure song, I think Close To Me, or some other song from that album The Head On The Door, or that era.

Yeah, the jangly guitar-strumming during the chorus especially.

Dorothea Paas's "Waves Rising" drove me crazy for a bit - what was that guitar reminding me of... Turned out to be Wye Oak's "We Were Wealth".

[The Soup Nazi]

Link Wray's "Rumble" -> Richard Thompson's "Shoot Out The Lights". A little bit.

[choc e-Claire]

ah, a thread for my observation - the single My Chemical Romance put out last year seems to heavily draw on Sunny Day Real Estate's 'Killed by an Angel'.

these past days I've been nearly constantly humming Bell Witch chords in my head, but then often it sort of morphs into this completely other song and lord knows that's a crap song!

Scorpions - Wind Of Change

From Wikipedia:

Claim of CIA creative input

The song is the subject of the Pineapple Street Studios podcast Wind of Change, released 11 May 2020, which raises questions regarding the song's origin. Patrick Radden Keefe, the New Yorker author and host of the podcast investigates the allegation that the song was written by or connected to the Central Intelligence Agency, citing a rumor originating allegedly from inside the agency. In a Sirius XM interview with Eddie Trunk on 13 May 2020, [Scorpions' Klaus] Meine stated "It's a fascinating idea, and it's an entertaining idea, but it's not true at all". In December 2020, it was reported that a further investigation of the song's origins based on the claims from the podcast will be adapted into a series for Hulu directed by Alex Karpovsky.
