That use of the second scale degree is really distinctive because it's a non-chord tone.

Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" and Kesha's "Die Young" are basically the same song with different vocals. They came out the same year too.

Both songs were produced/engineered by the same malevolent person to make children want to destroy their lives iirc

"The Way to There" by Au Revoir Simone includes a section that is very similar to "Ode to My Family" by The Cranberries.

The opening verses to 'Venus' (Bananarama etc) and Bon Jovi's 'Livin On A Prayer' are almost identical.

I still think Livin' On a Prayer is West End Girls when it comes on for the first five seconds.

Shakira's first single 'Estoy Aqui' was a massive hit in latin america. Released 1995:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmJHH026X0c
Verse sounds exactly like the Pretenders 'I'll Stand By You' released a year before. No idea if they sued for this one but they should have.

Shakira's chorus is way catchier though or maybe its my nostalgia googles since it was one of those songs everyone in my generation heard non-stop. 90's production is very distracting though.

Yeah, that sounds right. Sounds like similar chords too.

That's impossible. If anything than "My iron lung" sounds like "I believe when I fall in love" and not vice versa.

I always wondered by "Run" by New Order sounded strangely familiar. Recently, I read that they were actually sued by John Denver because the melody line was so similar to "Leaving On A Jetplane".

I don't hear this at all melodically, but the drums are very similar

the drums in the verses of Drain You = the drums in the choruses of Pedestrian at Best
The Internet - "Just sayin" has a melodic hook that's similar to Rolling Stones - Miss You.

Right, this is driving me crazy... What is this song basing itself on? It sounds so familiar. The only thing I can think of is 'Bow Down Mister' by Boy George and Jesus Loves You, but I'm sure there's something closer...
