Two amazing pop voices and two equally brilliant songs – Kelly's Already Gone and Beyoncé's Halo aren't so much poppelgangers as your actual pop twins. Was Calvin Harris, who wrote Rita's 2014 Number 1 a secret Five fan? We bet Abs was his favourite. Our close personal Twitter friend Lakaiya reckons Rita Ora's I Will Never Let You Down and Five's Keep On Movin’ sound very similar. Creep itself was once caught up in a legal battle over similarities to The Hollies’ 1972 hit The Air That I Breathe, resulting in writers Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood suing to receive co-writing credits and a percentage of the song’s royalties (are you keeping up?).Īccording to Lana, the lawsuit was eventually dropped, telling fans at a gig: "Now that my lawsuit’s over, I guess I can sing that song any time I want, right?"

Last year, Radiohead reportedly asked to be credited on Get Free from Lana's Lust For Life album because of its similarities to their song Creep. It's pretty undeniable, right? It's not the first Ed single to bare a striking similarity to another hit either. When chart titans Ed and Justin dropped their new collaboration this month, some immediately noticed a similarity in the chorus with another chart-topper - Cheryl's 2014 single I Don't Care. Listen to a side-by-side comparison of the two below: A US court ruled that was not the case, saving the song's writers Robert Plant and Jimmy Page millions in damages. Led Zeppelin's iconic hit Stairway to Heaven had, until this month, been caught up in a six-year legal battle with Los Angeles band Spirit, who claimed the song stole the opening of their track Taurus. We've looked at some songs that may not be identical, or even have that much in common, but in there somewhere is a striking similarity that we can't get out of our heads. And sometimes, songs sound so like other tunes that things get heated and lawyers have to get into a room and work things out, whether the similarity is intentional or not.
Sometimes the similarity is totally obvious and everyone agrees with you, other times it seems to be unique to your ears. We've all got one, haven't we? One of those little quirks where you'll be singing along to a song and start reciting a bit of another song because it reminds you of it – and you just can't shake it.
