MUSIC PLAGIARISM 

Hello everybody!
In this page you'll find a brief confrontation between two songs. I'm not a musician and I don't know anything about musical theory: I'm just a music listener which has bought a lot of CD! Sometimes it happens that when I listen to the radio I notice that the song that is playing remembers me another song...
Did you ever had the same sensation? Have you ever said "this song seems like..." or "I've just heard this refrain before!" although you know that the song you're hearing is a "new charted", just released!
Well, I've tried to write down all the equalities and similes between two (or more) songs! Also some friends of mine have played at this "game" with me. The outcome is the page that you're reading! I hope you like it, but don't take it as a "truth": it's just a game and I'm just a music listener.

LEGEND:
	= Plagiarism	--> A brief piece of music (refrain, rhythm, etc..) of the first song has been used in the second one.
	= Copy	--> The second song is not new: it was originally performed by another artist.
	= Adaptation	--> The second song is the translation in another language of the first song.
