The Yardbirds - Still I'm Sad

Always reminds me very much of:

The Tokens - The Lion Sleeps Tonight

If the latter had smoked a great deal of opium.

No, Necro doesn't do parody, it is meant to be more of a rip off that people could easily catch.

Then again, "Ice Ice Baby" lifted the intro from Queen - "Under Pressure", but I am pretty sure everyone knew that.

I just noticed this one, although it's not too much of a stretch to say that they just had similar ideas.

The synth part sounds a lot like:

(Sorry, youtube doesn't have the song Water by itself, but it has the full album Contact). Go to 3:25 for the right song.

This is probably way too obscure for anyone here to care about but Milan Stankovic's terrible-but-catchy song "Fejs" was upgraded to K-pop band Nu'est's "FACE" recently. No one seems to have noticed the blatant copying, but I CARE ENOUGH ABOUT SERBIANS TO BE OFFENDED!!

and

I can't believe they stooped so low as to even copy the name! Luckily, the two songs could not be more different lyrically. THANK HEAVENS!! :P

Paul Simon's American Tune sounds just like a passage in Bach's St Matthews Passion.

The main riff in Six Feet Under's "Bringer of Blood" sounds exactly like Disturbed's "Stricken"

Daft Punk samples - Confirmed and Possible ones. Even though they're are not note for note they are still suspiciously similar.
