Flaming Lip’s “Fight Test” sounds like Cat Steven’s “Father and Son”
This is a particularly fascinating sound-alike. “Fight Test” is a great song in it’s own right, but the vocal melody appears lifted right now of “Father and Son”.
Listen for the vocal melody and cadence of these lines:
Fight Test (2002): “So it came time, to fight. I thought I’d just step aside and that time would prove you wrong.
Father and Son (1971): “It’s not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy. You’re still young, that’s you’re fault.

Walt Disney’s “Spoonful of Sugar” sounds like John William’s “Imperial March”
Spoonful of Sugar (1964): Melody composed by Richard Sherman. Remember the melody of that chorus from childhood?
The Imperial March (1980): Written by John Williams. Although in a minor key, listen at 22 seconds for the tell-tale three notes that used to mean “…medicine go down”
Green Day’s “Warning” sounds like The Kinks’s “Picture Book”
Picture Book (1968): A really great track from the tight concept album “The Villiage Green Preservation Society”
Warning (2000): There is little room for doubt in this case – Green Day clearly copied every element of this song except for the lyrics.
