Default The SongKillers.

Like ladykillers with songs. This was what the "songs you might recognise" thread soon became thanks to BB_Eye's revelations (M.I.A.'s Born Free being a sample etc.)

Basically post songs that have unabashedly stolen from others in an attempt to demean their worth.

Example #1:
Radiohead's "Karma Police". You should recognise it.


has an uncanny resemblance to a song from a little-known band called The Beatles. "Sexy Sadie":


Example #2:
I posted this in a separate thread not too long ago. The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" should be something you know.


BUT WHAT'S THIS? A string version of a Rolling Stones song.


and my final offering. #3:
Rogue Traders' "Voodoo Child".


not only did it steal a name of an already known song, but it nicked a bit of Elvis Costello too.
