Songs that make you sing other songs along to them

[ajprice]

Sometimes a song seems so similar (or at least similar in your head) to another song, you end up singing the other song instead. Current case in point, I heard the new U2 song, Country Mile, on the radio this week a few times. I keep singing Tomorrow by James along to it. Its a kind of alternative earworm

[Watcher of the skies]

The chorus of Boston's more than a feeling always makes me think of Wild Thing by Jimi Hendrix.

[MCBrowncoat]

Scissor Sisters Laura = Thomas the Tank Engine.

Also, on the Aphex Twin album 26 Mixes for Cash, the third track, Journey, has a string part that begins about 6:25 in (I've just checked...) that always reminds me of the main menu music/theme from Tomb Raider 2/3

There's loads of these, some more I'm sure will come to mind

For some reason I was thinking of "Where do you go to my lovely?" by Peter Sarstedt, and I can't stop it changing into "Piano Man" by Billy Joel.

Bob Dylan's "Things Have Changed" along with Chris Rea's "Road To Hell (part 2).

I'm sure it's the same song.

But Chris was first.

More than a feeling makes me think of smells like teen spirit by Nirvana...

Cold Machines - Alice Cooper

Makes me sing, Remember you're a Womble.

'Heaven is a Place on Earth' by Belinda Carlisle is 'Livin on a Prayer' by Bon Jovi.

'In the Name of Love' by U2 is 'The Magic Roundabout' theme.

According to Billy Corgan, it was indeed a rip-off of it
