Another retro site explored this a little in a podcast. One of the ones they picked up on was the middle section of the sitcom 'Please Sir's theme sounding like the 'Blankety Blank' theme tune. Which it does.

These two :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX8szNPgrEs (If you tolerate this by Manic steet preachers)
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXJfVXYL714&ob=av2e (The Stranglers -Duchess)


And I also think Ghostbusters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvkKX035484 sounds like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly5fwalNxmk Pop Music by "M"

Ghostbusters also sounds like I Want A New Drug http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6uEMOeDZsA&ob=av2e. Huey Lewis's lawyers thought it did too.

Re: Songs That Sound Alike or Similar

I remember a stand-up comedian playing Del Amerti's "Not Where It's At" back to back with the Crossroad theme, the first few notes are very similar.

Re: Songs That Sound Alike or Similar

"S Club Party" by S Club Seven
Sounds like
"White Lines" by Grandmaster Melle Mel
Which sounds like
"Liquid Liquid" by Cavern

Sorry to bring up S Club by the way, but it is relevant.

Oh yeah
"Jam On It" by Newcleus sounds like "Situation" by Yazoo.

Re: Songs That Sound Alike or Similar

Alison Moyet's "Weak in the Presence of Beauty" and Belinda Carlisle's "I Go Weak". Similar titles, but also similarities between the songs themselves.

Sandie Shaw's "One More Lie" and Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline"
