Songs that sound the same.

[RevolutionaryActs]

You know, you hear a song and you're like hey "that reminds of ______" Then you go and listen to "_____" and you're like "OMG! It's the same song!" but like, it's not really the same song, because it's by another band and stuff. You know, right? :silly:

But for *this* reason? Or just in general? :rofl:

[reformedrepub]

3. I call both

unless of course you have a new "legs" pics to post, then I might reconsider...:)

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. LOL!

Have you been hanging out with GoPsUx? You're starting to sound like him. :rofl:

[reformedrepub]

6. Apparently I always seem to miss

those "leg" posts. Im getting very disgruntled. I always hear about those after the fact...

[RevolutionaryActs]

[reformedrepub]

10. WOW

[Radical Activist]

11. Anything by Journey and anything by REO Speedwagon

It all sounds pretty much the same.

[RevolutionaryActs]

12. RA! How have you been?

:D









... btw, did you show up because someone said "legs"? :rofl:

[Radical Activist]

14. Hey!

I've been ok. U?

Legs aren't why I showed up but it was a happy surprise once I got here. Nice to see you again.

[RevolutionaryActs]

15. I've been good.

Except I have a cold, and have pretty much lost my voice. But I can still type. :silly:

[Radical Activist]

16. well that's the important thing

type away

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. *type, type, type*

I think I've had too much cold medicine. :crazy:

[Radical Activist]

21. I'm about 50 posts

away from 15,000. I know that's small time for you but I'm thinking about trying to reach it tonight.

[RevolutionaryActs]

23. Well, I'll be here to help threadjack for the next 45mins.

Then I have to go to bed... *GrumbleStupidWorkGrumble*


But until then, I am yours! ;)

[Radical Activist]

27. oh my

[RevolutionaryActs]

30. How is it dangerous...

.. Uncle RA?









:rofl:

[Radical Activist]

32. LOL

Well that brings back memories.



We really haven't talked in a while. Have you been a good girl? I hope not.



Wow do I feel like a dirty old man now.

[RevolutionaryActs]

33. 'Course I've been a good girl.

Perfect little angel.

[Radical Activist]

34. I don't believe that

And if its true then I'm very disappointed. We need to work on changing that.

[RevolutionaryActs]

35. Oh, how will you change it?

[BurtWorm]

17. Gloria, by Them and Save Me, by Aretha Franklin

http://youtube.com/watch?v=D4IjT0VsLXg

The whole video is great, but "Gloria" begins at around 2:30

http://youtube.com/watch?v=lNEkT3CbCR8

This is not Aretha Franklin's video, in case you couldn't tell. But it's her music.

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. One thing that can be said about this thread so far

At least it's got some good tunes in it. :silly:

[Kucinich4America]

18. The Red Tom Chili Petty Heartbreakin' Peppers

Petty - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdTYcnUBADw

Peppers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kID5W9k-Zw

[Capn Sunshine]

20. Yet both are awesome tunes

I prefer the Chilis myself. And is "last Dance with Mary Jane " about smoking pot?

[Kucinich4America]

25. That was always my interpretation.

Despite the video's er.... morbid implications. But having attended several Tom Petty concerts since then, I do believe Tom and Mary Jane are still well acquainted. :evilgrin:

[Robeson]

22. O.K., a post that finally stumps me. You got me.

[RevolutionaryActs]

24. Sweet!

Do I get a prize? :P

[Robeson]

28. Just my un-waning admiration.....

...:-)

[RevolutionaryActs]

31. Oooh, I feel all fancy shmancy now.

The Offspring - Why Don't You Get A Job? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqHkuHy39eA

[Kucinich4America]

38. Here's one that actually went to court

When a greedy pig named Saul Zaentz actually had the nerve to sue John Fogerty for "plagiarizing" HIMSELF.

Run Through The Jungle (WARNING - video taken from "Platoon" so it ain't pretty) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y4SNucf12U

Old Man Down The Road http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmLlqiUVDro

Fortunately, John Fogerty won the case, by bringing his guitar to the trial and playing both songs on the witness stand.

[RevolutionaryActs]

39. That's funny.

Another one I thought of,

And then there is "Eighties" by Killing Joke and "Come As You Are" by Nirvana.

I'd post YouTube links but my internet connection is fucked up so it's too much effort.

[Orsino]

48. Marvin Gaye's "I Heard it Throught the Grapevine" and...

[WannaBeGrumpy]

52. lol ...i have one

Cheap Trick, "She's Tight": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiSypDGFLVo

Poison, "Talk Dirty to Me": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4qVJnhZwWY

Same guitar riff, basically.

[bikebloke]

54. Frere Jacques and Row Row Row Your Boat

Once at a place I worked at long, long ago, we tried to convince this German bloke that Frere Jacques and Row Row Row Your Boat was the same song. We nearly had it over on him.

[youthere]

55. Twinkle twinkle little star, Baa Baa Black sheep, and the Alphabet song.

[BulletproofLandshark]

56. Bush and the Offspring

[Jimbo S]

58. "Ghostbusters" and "I Need A New Drug"

I had a friend who was in the marching band in college and they wanted to do the Heuy Lewis tune but admins said no, so they did "Ghostbusters" instead. Same song, same beat.

[BuelahWitch]

59. "My Sweet Lord" and "He's So Fine"

[meow2u3]

60. 95% of the commercial rap and 75% of modern rock

They practiacally all sound the same. The performers are probably told to stick to the same formula.

Rap formula: predatory, explicit sex (porn rap), strip clubs, drug dealing, getting rich, whining about going to prison after getting caught dealing drugs, commtting crime, and/or packing heat.

Rock formula: my girl did me wrong, relationships, anxiety in general.

R&B formula: relationships that break taboos, sex as explicit as the radio will allow, the butchered remakes of soft rock and classic R&B, etc.

Give me soft rock, progressive rock, and underground hip-hop over that radio crap any day of the week.

[Patsy Stone]

61. These:
