Re: Songs That Sound Alike or Similar

When I was very young I used to get Van McCoy's The Shuffle & the Sports Report theme mixed up, due to the flutes used in both.

Same here. For a long time I thought they were one and the same. I had a little dance for the sports report theme

Habenera from Carmen / Da Do Ron Ron

John Miles Music (was my first love) and Blakes 7 theme

I always though Music would be good for a film or TV theme, I never noticed it sounded like the Blake's 7 theme. I'll have to play them back to back.

Taxman by The Beatles and Start by The Jam

This might be a bit of stretch but part of the refrain from The Beatles' All My Loving (1963) and Morecambe & Wise's iconic theme song Bring Me Sunshine (written in 1966) are somewhat similar.

Hi Shilton I've heard people mention this one before but it's really the electronic effect that Vangelis uses that sounds like Brooky. The melody itself is quite different. Sorry. I'm sounding pedantic! lol
