"You Are A Lover" by Tracey Thorn from her 'Love And Its Opposite' solo album really makes me think of RHCP's "Under The Bridge".
Love the TT song though.

Dr. Dre "Fuck wit Dre Day", Snoop Doggy Dogg "Who am I (What's My Name)", Tupac's "Can't C Me", and Above the Law's "Never Missin' a Beat", mostly due to interpolating the same funk track.

Beach House's "Silver Soul" reminds me of Grant Lee Buffalo's "Mockingbirds".Parts of Beach House's "Norway" rip Fleetwood Mac's "Big Love", no?

george mccrae's "rock your baby" (1974) is like the exact same song as dr. hook's "when you're in love with a beautiful woman" (1978). both owe something to the hughes corporation's "rock the boat" (1973), though the connection there is less direct.

Cheri Knight - "Spellbound"
Pinetop Seven - "Finding the Lady in Kicking Horse Reservoir"
well, the Cheri Knight song really just sounds like a distillation of every Pinetop Seven song that hadn't been yet recorded, and even her voice has an uncanny Darren Richard quality to it here. or maybe what I'm trying to say is that all alt.country music sounds the same :-/

Anyone familiar with Carole King's '70s hit "Sweet Seasons", come sing along with me:
Talkin' 'bout a-sweeeeet seasons on my mind...She's got a ticket to ride...She's got a ticket to ri-i-ide...She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care...
The identical melody (until the very end) is disguised pretty well by different chords though.

Okay, I recently had the revelation that "How You Remind Me" (Nickelback) and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (Green Day) are basically the same song. I tried to layer them on top of each other on Youtube and it didn't work. The Nickelback song is at a slightly faster tempo. Given some audio editing software, I could prove it.

Jorge Ben actually sued Stewart over the lifted melody:
Ben Jor may be an urban poet, but he's certainly no soft touch. In his celebrated spat with Rod Stewart, Ben Jor successfully sued the Scottish crooner after he 'borrowed' the melody of the Ben Jor song Taj Mahal for the chorus of his hit Da Ya Think I'm Sexy.
Nowadays Ben Jor seems remarkably sanguine about the affair. He explained how the dispute with Stewart had been settled amicably, with the Scottish singer agreeing to donate the profits from his song to UNICEF.
Gotta give props for him for donating what's probably a considerable amount of royalty money to UNICEF.
