The Clash's "Train in Vain," Garbage's "Stupid Girl" and the Afghan Whigs' cover of "Lost in the Supermarket." Cause they all use the "Train in Vain" drumbeat.

00:35-00:39 of Swervedriver's "Girl on a Motorbike" = some song by R.E.M.
Damo Suzuki: So, um, yeah. Getting older isn't as bad as it sounds. Better than being young & poor (DjDrake) or young & slutty (SG) or young, poor and slutty (Paves); am I right?
Alright, my friends. It's time for another solid little rock jam

Rape Me by Nirvana and Just by Radiohead.
They don't sound identical, but I always would hear Just and think it was an acoustic version or Rape Me.

Two songs that deserve to sound alike in their polished fappiness.
'Jesus of Suburbia' - Green Day
The bit where Billie Joe sings;
"city of the dead at the end of another lost highway..."
Sing along with me folks. It's the same as 'Summer of 69' by Bryan Adams...
"standing on your mama's porch, you told me that you'd wait forever"

"Song 2" - Blur
"Cage Around the Sun" - Monster Magnet
Very very different songs...but the opening guitar riff in both always remind me of one another.

Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes' "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and the Eagles' "Take it to the Limit" -- same key, same tempo, same string arrangement. Even after having heard both a zillion times, it takes me a few seconds to tell them apart.
The only performance that makes it -- that really makes it, that makes it all the way -- is the one that achieves madness.

"The Revolution Starts Now"-Steve Earle vs. "Me In Honey"--REM
"Is everyone on here just an act sometimes?"--Hummingbird
Read all of my stupid song parodies here. Latest song improved/ruined: "Once Again" by Girl Talk.
Listen to my stupid song parodies, recorded a capella via cell phone, at vocalo.org .(search 'agrimorfee')
Read the slowly developing history of classic putative rock band The Anderson Council at my cheap, bland blog
Might as well throw my Last.fm page here, too.

So this isn't so much for a fraction of a second, but I picked up the new Ben Harper 3-disc this weekend, and while I'm enjoying it, I must say that "Waiting for You" sounds one HELL of a lot like T. Rex's "Cosmic Dancer." As in note for note.
The God of language forgives all crimes.
