How many times have you/we/ someone said about a song, that sounds like... OR, a song starts up on the radio and you say, that's .... and it turns out to be some other song, with the same start up notes, chords, riffs, etc. Most recent: Robin Thicke's current big hit number vs. Marvin Gaye's song.


Here are two website items that I've recently run into on this very topic. Some we know of, other not.
