I've just found out the bit in u2's A beautiful day is a rip off both musically and lyrically of Aha's The sun always shines on tv.

Marcy Playground's Rebel Sodville always sounded like a plagarism of Marcy Playground's One More Suicide.

Apart from the "Al Gore version", Macarena was nothing but a vulgar plagiarism of Fun Boy Three's It Ain't What You Do (from 1982, but based on a jazz song from 1939):

Faithfulness (Skin, 2003), a plagiarism of Aire (Mecano, 1984):
