What song/composition sounds like another artist?

Last week I heard "On the Dark Side" from the soundtrack Eddie and the Cruisers(John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band). I was amazed how similar(even subtle nuances)when compared to Bruce Springsteen and the E Steet Band. I'm curious how many other songs/compositions Audiogon members can come up with.

My contribution to this would be Ray Parker Jr's Ghostbusters song and the VERY striking similarity it has to Huey Lewis' I Want a New Drug. I think they have battled this out in court multiple times.

After learning guitar -a little- i became aware of how really really close allot of guitar parts are- even in rock songs that don't really sound the same - sometimes it's only a matter of slight timing changes. In fact, it can be real easy to slip into playing the wrong song if i am not really paying attention. Sometimes I have troble with a guitar part i once mastered, because i learned another rock song that is too close.

Hello Again,

In reference to my post above my apologies on the quoting

I should have said Dominic Behan's "The Patriot Game"

Not "Leaving of Liverpool"-- that one Dylan cogged into his "Farewell"
