10 Oasis songs that 'Rip Off' other songs

this video is sponsored by GPU audio Oasis composer N Gallagher has never tried to hide his influences. He seems quite happy for people to know what older

songs

he used to write his new

songs

, for example, "Cigarettes and Alcohol" opens with a blues guitar riff in E major. which is very similar to the one heard at the beginning of an

other

British rock and roll tune, the crack of Get It On by T-Rex is effectively two guitar parts, one playing an E chord like this and an

other

adding chords above and this recognizable blue. Lick lowering g f sharp on e and null has basically combined these two elements of the T-Rex Rift into a Rift for cigarettes and alcohol, see if you can guess how the song is based on the 1973 song How Sweet to Be an Idiot written. and played by Neil Inis, how sweet to be an idiot.

I am free to be whatever. Not only is the opening melodic phrase of both songs identical, but both are sung over the same descending central progression and both are in the same key of G major. Due to the resemblance between these two songs, Oasis were sued by In and Inis received songwriting credit and therefore presumably royalties for Oasis. Whatever some of you already know, Neil Inis is perhaps best known for his Beatles parody band, The. Rutles and on Rutles' 1996 song Shanga, Neil Inis actually bounced back from Oasis by including a couple of little nods to whatever at the beginning of the track we can hear an excerpt of the strings of whatever, followed with a nod to The Beatles A Day. in Life and then again near the end of the track we can hear Neil quoting a lyric from whatever Oasis is, of course Oasis were not only inspired by the Beatles parody bands but also by reality, they you can find little moments of beet influence everywhere.

Oasis' back catalogue, but perhaps the Oasis song to borrow most openly from a Beo song is "She's Electric", the chorus of "She's Electric" is very similar to that of "While My Guitar Gfully Weeps" and I want know "I have my mind made up." Now I don't do it. I know why no one told you that the two Melodies In Some Places are note for note the same and While My Guitar Gfully Weeps is not the only Beatles song that Oasis channeled on She's Electric, the She's Electric output appears to be a direct reference at the exit of With.

A little help from my friends A little help from my friends With a little help from my friends, another classic song that n has borrowed is Imagine by John Lenon. Don't Look Back in Anger effectively begins with a slightly simplified form of the imagin piano reference. and makes no effort to hide the fact that imagining was the starting point for Don't Look Back. Anger in the case of Don't Look Back. I mean, the piano is, imagine another Beatle he didn't borrow from is George. Harrison doesn't admit that the guitar solo on Supersonic is taken from Harrison's My Sweet Lord, as he explains in this interview, it wasn't a conscious decision to insert the guitar line from My Sweet Lord into his song, it's just a natural part of how he.

He writes his songs in supersonic mode, there are the guitars, that's just the riff of my sweet love. I didn't sit there and listen to My Sweet Lord and go, I'm going to have that riff, it's like that just got to me, you know? and okay, it sounds a little like My Sweet Lord, but you know, you have enough money anyway, they stole it anyway, didn't he get sued for that? I'm going to sue him, you know? They're just playing what they've heard in their record collections, one of WA's first singles. Shaker Maker is strikingly similar to the classic song.

I would like to teach the savages to sing and not now, where I would like to build the world. a home and furnish it with love, in fact the resemblance was so obvious at the time that Oasis tribute band, no way sis, released a cover of I'd like to teach the savages to sing in the Oasis style and this cover really nailed it. at number 27 in the UK singles charts due to the resemblance between the two songs, Oasis were sued by Coca-Cola for half a million dollars and if you're wondering, wait, what does Coca-Cola have to do with this? ?

Well, the background of I would like to show you that singing is quite peculiar. The song was first written with a different lyric and title, True Love and Apple Pie. Then, in 1971, advertising executives rewrote the lyrics in a Coca-Cola advertisement sung by the British group The New. Seekers with the New Seekers also released an extended version of the song without the Coca-Cola references, but eventually It was Coca-Cola who sued Oasis for their song Shaker maker.

Taking excerpts from existing tracks and working them into new songs is consciously or not clearly part of n Gallagher. approach to songwriting, for example, he admits that the theme of him on the other side of the world is based on Bert Barak and how David Classic, this guy is in love with you, sounds exactly the same.

I'm surprised Barak hasn't sued me yet despite having described it. both songs sound exactly the same, it's more or less just the opening main progression that is the same between these two songs, both songs feature the same movement from chord 1 to chord 4 with the major 7th actually added in 96, 2 years after half. went the world away Burke Bearak, who composed disguise and love with you, actually invited me to sing this gu in love with you at a concert in London, so I imagine that Bert was not only aware of the similarity between the two songs, but that It was also pretty good.

With ity, this gu is in love with you, this is the 1988 song Clean Profit by Lars Can You Clock, which Oasis song was inspired by the opening guitar figure of this song. It has not been said that Lars' Clean Profit was an inspiration for The Importance of Being. Idol and we can certainly hear that in the opening guitar line, apart from with Shaker maker and whatever for the most part, Oasis got away with borrowing and borrowing from older songs, however, a bit of borrowing that they didn't get their way was on their 1996 song, step out, the chorus of step out sounds a lot like the chorus of Stevie Wonders, the 1965 hit, tense, you might think everything's crying, you'll be fine, happened tonight.

Stepout was first released as the b-side to Oasis' smash hit Don'. t Look Back in Anger and was intended to be included on the band's next album, What's the Story, Morning Glory? However, once the resemblance between Oasis' step and Stevie W's uptight was noted, Oasis had to forfeit 10% of the royalties from Step Out and share songwriting credits with Stevie Wonder and the other two uptight writers. and for this reason Oasis did not include a step on the album and for our last example today I will play you the song Feel the Pain by real people to see if you can recognize Oasis. track that was born from this song Don't Go Away says you say land don't go what to say wa says don't go is clearly based on Feel the Pain by real people and has effectively taken the lyrical idea and melodic phrasing and placed it in a major key setting here instead of feeling Pain's minor key even though Real People's Feel the Pain wasn't a particularly well-known song, I was almost definitely not familiar with the song as Oasis had actually recorded it. his first demos with the help of Chris and Tony Griffith from real people is like when we, uh, played with people, uh, cigarettes and alcohol for the first time and they said he sounds like T-Rex.

I say, no, no. does it in no way, I never realized that you know those two cards are not the same, imagine no you can't do that, I can and I will and I have it and you will buy it in one go.
