Songs that Sound Alike

[Afternoon Tea]

Is there any songs that you know of that sound similar or identical to each other?

Well I fond this Ending from Kamichu! sounds alot like The Beatles, but yet again this anime takes place in the 80's even though the Beatles where like 60's

its close to "Day Tripper" by The Beatles at the beginning of the song? and then the chorus is like "Revolution" by The Beatles, but just sped up.

The Ending Song for Kamichu

Day Tripper by the Beatles
listen to the start of Kamichu and this song

The Melody kinda songs like
Revolution By The Beatles just sped up

Now, while many people today whine about music sounding similar to one another, there are the rare cases where two pieces of music with different lyrics and artists which otherwise have nothing in common sound so identical in structure as to be virtually ripoffs.

Listen to these two for example:

If anyone can find any more examples, lemme know for curiosity's sake

Full Metal Panic Fumoffu's ending theme sounds really similar to The Game of Love by Michelle Branch and Santana.

From the first season of Full Metal Panic! there's the BGM Tokko Yarou! which sounds a lot like The A team theme to the point that it might be homage or something.

The first few notes of China Stage theme from Street Fighter 3: third Strike sounds a lot like the James Bond theme:

"Suki to Itte" from one of the Sailor Moon CDs and "Manic Monday" by The Bangles.

I love both these artists by the way. but the similarities are there.

These two songs actually have pretty much nothing in common, but the beginning of Eden of the East's "futuristic imagination" and Macross Frontier's "Sayonara no Tsubasa" sound very similar, with Sayonara no Tsubasa sounding like it just switched around some parts of futuristic imagination.
