There was a thread about this some years ago, but fucked if I can find it.

Anyway:

The main riff from Bowie's Andy Warhol and the riff that comes in at 6.19 in Master of Puppets.

The chorus of Freddy's Dead and the Charlie's Angels theme tune.

Pull Up The Roots by Talking Heads sounds like that Aztec Camera song "Somewhere In My Heart".

The descending melody on the chorus of "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz (where he slows down and sings "But I won't hesitate no more no more, it cannot wait, I'm yours") sounds maddeningly familiar, but I can't remember the other song that sounds like it. Anyone know?

Chorus of "Smash the Social Contract" by Cornelius Cardew and chorus of "Funky Gibbon" by the Goodies.

... a song I have a feeling Cornelius Cardew might have been familiar with, backstory of Funky Gibbon is interesting.

Was listening to some film scores while working today, and boy did John Williams lift directly from get inspired by Bernard Hermann's "Citizen Kane" score when doing "Close Encounters."
