I was in the shower singin' "Rock n Roll Girl" by John Fogerty when I realized it's almost exactly like "Here She Comes Again" by The Cars.
Huey Lewis sued Ray Parker Jr. claiming the Ghostbusters theme was a rip off of "I Want A New Drug". They sound a lot alike. George Harrison actually lost a law suit cuz' The Shirelles said he stole the music from their song "He's So Fine" for his song "My Sweet Lord, and if you listen to both it's hard to not argue that.

Can you think of any songs you know that sound like other songs?

star wars theme song and superman theme song

Yea...but that could be the case for the fact that John Williams composed & conducted both of those. Still...they are remarkably similar.

Ice Ice Baby sounds a lot like Under Pressure by Queen

I just KNEW somebody was gonna' say that.

nowadays, I think its just called 'sampling' as long as the original artist is aknowledged and compensated.

Beyonce's 'Halo' and Kelly Clarkson's "Someones Gotta Go" actually ARE the same music composed by the same artist and sold to both of them....

the alphabet song and twinkle twinkle little star sound the same

Actually, the Cars song you're thinking of is called "My Best Friend's Girl". Aside from that, they sound nothing alike.

If you want a similarity to Fogerty's "Rock And Roll Girls" (1985), listen to "Wild Weekend", by the Rockin' Rebels (1963).

anything by britny spears

Payin atension to the radio you can hear all the songs of yester years in those, buck cherry`s ``im to drunk``...take a good listen to their little solo then think of purple haze by jimi hendrix. just look at the song undead by holywood undead...if you cant tell its crazy train but in a higher pitch you gotta be crazy...but i guess this is the way of music...nothing is new...but everything can be renewed...at this point all out new music is starting to copy that of the classic rock era (ACDC....Airborn)
