- William DeVaughn - "Be Thankful For What You Got"/"Blood Is Thicker Than Water"
came to post these two, but Rev. Hoodoo beat me to it by 15 years. both john davis productions. blood came first, so be thankful is like the refined version i guess.

I wasn't even aware until several years ago that 'Only the Lonely' and 'Suddenly Last Summer' were two distinct songs. I've just always conflated them in my head for some reason. I don't know that they necessarily sound exactly the same but the tempo is consistent and they fit seamlessly together.
And then suddenlyLast summerIt's like I told youOnly the lonely can play

Kinks, "All Day And All Of The Night" is pretty much "You Really Got Me" all over again (though it does add a couple of extra bars going into the guitar solo)

It's the best example in that it's an obvious improvement (imo)

'Run to Me', Candi Staton's follow-up to 'Young Hearts Run Free' - different chorus but that's about it.

Dire Straits' "Lady Writer" is virtually a carbon copy of "Sultans of Swing".

The Pioneers followed up 'Long Shot Kick De Bucket' with a song called 'Poor Rameses' about another Jamaican racehorse who had died the same week as Long Shot. The track also begins with a (slightly different) bugle call.
The group clearly had no qualms about flogging a dead horse.

The Pioneers had another song about "Long Shot" while he was still a going concern. It is quite similar...
