White Stripes "You're pretty good looking for a girl" morphs into the Schoop Schoop Song by Cher in the middle 8.I have Zeigeist "Cuffs", Kelly Osbourne "one word", Visage "Fade to Grey" and Holly Valance "State of Mind" next to each other in my itunes playlist because they all sound the same and if I hear one I need to hear all of them...

Also, the verses of Ween's Dr. Rock resemble the verse melody of Heroes and Villains.

Always thought this track sounded like about 4 different Julian Cope songs (from the St Julian era) melded into one.

I can't believe I never noticed that before, but I don't mind it. Parts of it sound like The Wipers. Later on it sound like a different Zeppelin song.
James Gang were pretty damn early though.
