Wow, I never knew that. That's pretty cool.
By the way, I once read a book by Malcolm Gladwell that had an entire section about musicians copying each other's music. Listen to Shaggy's "Angel" and Steve Miller Band's "The Joker", and pay attention to the similarity in base lines. Here are others I remember.
Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" and Muddy Waters' "You Need Love"
The next one was the most surprising for me.
Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit" compared to Boston's 'More Than a Feeling'.
Also, I recently heard Jose Gonzales' version of Teardrop, but I'm guessing this time; Gonzales is copying Massive attack rather than the other way around.
