The riff to I Feel Fine by The Beatles also sounds very damn similar to it, just as much as the Moby D*ck riff does.

Good grief. What IS wrong with these people? As you say, it's a freakin' VARIATION of a guitar lick! EVERYBODY in the 60s bloody well played variations of some guitar lick that was itself invented by a Blues artist like Bobby Parker etc. Most riffs in popular music are variations of some way earlier idea. That's not called ripping off or plagiarism. That's about as idiotic as claiming that it's a rip-off to re-use a drum beat. What a bunch of tards.
