Hmmmmm....don't hear it, but....
"King Contrary Man" by the Cult = "Fight For Your Right to Party" by Beastie Boys (both produced by Rick Rubin, of course).

Things I can think of from here: Roadrunner (organ solo), Ring of Fire (horn part, played on melodica), Levitation by 13th Floor Elevators (verse part of a whole song on Internal Wrangler), etc. etc.

Cobain frigging teased MTaF right before ripping into SLTS at the 1992 Reading Festival. At the least, he was amused by the similarity; at the worst, he was openly acknowledging what he stole from.

Also, much has been made in years past, in various circles, of "Waking Up" = "No More Heroes", but I found the track The Stranglers ripped off in the first place for *that* riff. It's a keyboard riff at the beginning of a track on The Essential Pebbles and now it's come to it I can't remember what it's called... it's not "You Treated Me Bad" by the JuJus, is it? (Look for update on this once I get home to check)

I know every track on Pink Flag is supposed to be a re-cycling of something or other, but I can never tell what, aside from "Feeling Called Love" being "Louie Louie".

And the opening of Tender (Blur) has always reminded me of the opening of Here (Pavement).

If we're talking ripoffs, however, then I submit R.E.M.'s "The One I Love" as a slightly slowed-down version of Neil Young's "Hey Hey My My."

Good god I don't know...you may be right. I was just wanting a 'stuff that sounds like other stuff' thread but frankly the searchprocess flummoxes me..especially when I'm up late and tired like now blah blah..
