Despite all this, Sara Bareilles has said that she really doesn't care and thinks people are making too big a deal out of it. One popular example is the obvious similarities between "Roar" by Katy Perry and "Brave" by Sara Bareilles, to the point that the latter only became a hit on the back of the controversy."I Missed Us" by SWV samples a Suspiciously Similar Version of the Fairy Fountain theme from The Legend of Zelda.Lampshaded when the band did an album with rock covers of Christmas songs, where "O Come All Ye Faithful" is performed exactly like "We're Not Gonna Take It". Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" is derived from the Christmas hymn "O Come All Ye Faithful".Aiden's entire discography is this to AFI's, but "I Set My Friends on Fire" and "The Despair Factor" deserves a special mention.Brightside" and "Bulletproof Heart" sound a lot like it. Then there's also Muse's "Time is Running Out." It doesn't sound like "Special K," but "Mr.MCR even sings "gravity" in the same way this may have been done intentionally. Brightside" and My Chemical Romance's "Bulletproof Heart" are reminiscent of Placebo's "Special K". Safetysuit's "Stay" sounds incredibly similar to Switchfoot's "Meant to Live." They sound enough alike that most people seem to initially think that "Stay" is a cover of "Meant to Live.".The fade-in to "Money for Nothing", with Terry Williams's improvised drum solo, is remarkably similar to end of the middle part of "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who.The fade-out of Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" from Brothers in Arms is set to The Police's "Don't Stand So Close to Me" - lampshaded by Mark Knopfler having Sting sing it and giving him co-writing credits.Ditto for 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up?", from Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy".Billy Joel gave Beethoven writing credit. But he's not ripping off "Midnight Blue", they're both borrowing from Beethoven (Sonata No. His "This Night" has almost exactly the same tune as Louise Tucker's "Midnight Blue".Billy Joel's "My Life" takes its melody from Johnny Rodriguez' "Love Put a Song in My Heart".Ditto for "A Honest Mistake" by The Bravery.
And the chorus lyrics on "Angel" are clearly inspired by "Angel of the Morning" by Merrilee Rush. Miller is credited as a composer on "Angel". Shaggy's "Angel" also sounds suspiciously similar to Steve Miller Band "The Joker.
Beyoncé "Hold Up" sounds like Shaggy's "Angel".B.E.R's "Night Begins to Shine" opening theme is similar to Blondie's "Call Me" However "Night Begins to Shine" was created to be an 80's tribute.
