Time for a mindless music list thread. Just heard the new Grandaddy tune The Boat is in the Barn, which (probably unwittingly) shares an intro with Slade's Coz I Luv You. This got me to thinking, etc etc.
Which other tunes feature intros either identical to, or highly reminiscent of, those of others? These could be direct homages, unintentional copies, standard riffs or even blatant rip-offs. Here's a few to start ('copying' artist first/original second):
Shot Shot – Gomez / 50 Foot Queenie – P J Harvey
Show Me – Dexys Midnight Runners / Rag Mama Rag – The Band
I’m On Fire – 5000 Volts / Black is Black – Los Bravos
Groove is in the Heart – Deee-Lite / Blow Up – James Taylor Quartet/others
Bohemian Like You - Dandy Warhols / Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones
Connection - Elastica / Three Girl Rhumba - Wire
Start - The Jam / Taxman - The Beatles
Any more?
