It's The Same Old Song

[Shaggy_Dog_]

Well this is a bit of an unexpected one. It seems that Matt Bellamy must have been a bit of a fan of Top Gear on the SNES in his youth because the theme music for it sounds a lot like Bliss by Muse.

The king of the mashup, DJ Cummerbund, has just raised the bar. Forget your four chord song, this is game changing!

A mashup is not the same as a song which sounds the same. Blending "That's The Way (I Like It)" and "Jolene" is cool, fun and funky, but also off topic.

You have found a really cool mashup of songs which compliment each other well, and can be mixed together, but not songs which sound the same as each other.

Nil points.

The verses of both of these songs sound EXTREMELY similar, bits of the chorus too.

"You And Me" - Penny & The Quarters

Yeah I know. But where else was I gonna put it?

Maybe I can get back in Goose's good books with this classic?
They both share a near identical bassline and chord structure.

The classic Air on a G String, by Johann Sebastian Bach, (as made famous in adverts for my father's former employer)....

And Whiter Shade of Pale, by Procol Harum, (featuring on the original studio recording, a session drummer who went on to teach yours truly my first few drum lessons in my teens)....

I can't be the only one that sees this advert and think Set the house ablaze by the Jam is about to start.

I cant exactly tell you why these stick out as similar to me, but there are certainly some bits where the lyrics between the two could be interchangeable…

Recorded two years apart, Jeff was definitely borrowing, if not out and out stealing.

I have a very a very deep fondness for Air™. I know it's not the best ride out there. The theming is terrible, even now and the tunnel is bland. (NO. You get a life.) I will be very sad if it goes.

Now I can't be the only one that, when stood in that queue for the first time noticed whomever did the theming, was heavily influenced by Mr Mister. Especially when they borrowed the base.
