It's pretty undeniable, right? It's not the first Ed single to bare a striking similarity to another hit either. When chart titans Ed and Justin dropped their new collaboration this month, some immediately noticed a similarity in the chorus with another chart-topper - Cheryl's 2014 single I Don't Care. Listen to a side-by-side comparison of the two below:
A US court ruled that was not the case, saving the song's writers Robert Plant and Jimmy Page millions in damages. Led Zeppelin's iconic hit Stairway to Heaven had, until this month, been caught up in a six-year legal battle with Los Angeles band Spirit, who claimed the song stole the opening of their track Taurus. We've looked at some songs that may not be identical, or even have that much in common, but in there somewhere is a striking similarity that we can't get out of our heads. And sometimes, songs sound so like other tunes that things get heated and lawyers have to get into a room and work things out, whether the similarity is intentional or not. Sometimes the similarity is totally obvious and everyone agrees with you, other times it seems to be unique to your ears. We've all got one, haven't we? One of those little quirks where you'll be singing along to a song and start reciting a bit of another song because it reminds you of it – and you just can't shake it.
