old forgotten songs that we "hear" in new songs

[3970]

Songs that came to mind were-Every Morning by Sugar Ray, which has that Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa whoaaaaaaaaaa from Suavecito by Malo.

All I Wanna Do by Sheryl Crowe has that slide guitar which sounds like it came from Stuck In the Middle With You by Stealer's Wheel.

Anybody know of any more? As you can tell, I'm a 1970s music afficionado!

Len ripped off that 'More More More' song a few years ago with Steal My Sunshine.

I'm sure it's not intentional, but in "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by Daryl Hall & John Oates, you can hear the opening notes to "Summer Nights" by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John.

And someone had mentioned this earlier, but you can hear "Heart of the Matter" by Don Henley in "Breathe Again" by Toni Braxton.

I don't think that's intentional. "Lovin' Feeling" is a remake of an old 1960s hit and it had those notes in it, too, though not as pronounced as in the Hall & Oates song.

And someone had mentioned this earlier, but you can hear "Heart of the Matter" by Don Henley in "Breathe Again" by Toni Braxton.

That's right: "Even if, even if" - "Breathe Again, Breathe Again".

Wow, this topic is starting to become a rehash of "Songs that sound a little too much alike".

The beginning of "Breakout" by Swing Out Sister sounds familiar, sorta like "Let's Hear it For The Boy."

The beginning of "Can't Let Go" by Mariah Carey sounds like the beginning of "Love Will Lead You Back."

The chorus of Whitney Houston's 1994 song "Queen Of The Night" features the line, "I've got the stuff that you want. I've got the thing that you need." This is also a line from Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana".

Speaking of Whitney Houston, "The Greatest Love of All" sounds just like Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind."

Although not "forgotten," you can hear "Vogue" at the end of the single version of "Deeper And Deeper."

[johnnywest]

And you can hear Seal's "Crazy" at the end of "Fly Like An Eagle."

At the beginning of Fastball's "The Way", you can hear Jewel's "Foolish Games" when the radio dial is being changed.

And in Alanis' album track 'Excuses' you can hear her mtv album track 'no pressure over cappiccino'!
