co-frontman Gallagher never made a trick of his usage of other classic tunes as building blocks in his new tunes. Of course, all songwriters are inspired by the work that came before them, but often this recycling of older songs has got and into hot water.

The outro music to this video is my track "Clap" which you can hear in full on Spotify:

  1. insert obligatory “babe wake upā€¼ļø new david bennett piano video just droppedšŸ”„šŸ”„” joke here

  2. Next up: 30 Led Zeppelin songs that ā€œrip offā€ other songs

    1. He already did one but yeah I imagine there’s plenty more Led Zeppelin songs that do that

  3. “David Bennett Music” will tell people what you’re about & not deter non-pianists

  4. When told his song sounded like _____’s song, Noel Galagher was like “Whatever.”

  5. The initial version of ‘Shakermaker’ even included lyrics from the cola song. Although they re-recorded the second verse, Liam still sang the original version during early Oasis performances. I find that reference amusing, as the whole song feels like it’s coming from a bored working-class lad sitting in front of the TV, flipping through channels.

  6. 7:50 That is such a common chord progression (“Band on the Run” comes to mind). Herb Alpert may not have sued due to the risk of getting in trouble himself.

    1. I think it’s mainly the Electric Piano outro that mainly sounds like TGILWY. It’s not mentioned here

    2. @@joedurantguitar1447 Yeah I should have mentioned that actually! Good catch

  7. I always thought that solo from Supersonic certainly had the same vibe as the instrumental theme song of Taggart (1985) the guitar solo certainly did šŸ™‚ I guess they both got influenced by My Sweet Lord.
    Hale And Pale Oaday still makes me laugh. The songs are so funny

  8. the main riff from the one i love by r.e.m. can be heard pretty clearly on morning glory. same timing as well, both songs are based around the riff. i also happen to love both for completely different reasons

  9. Not to mention the similarities in the chord progression for All Around the World. It’s basically the same as Eight Days a Week, just in a different key.

    “All round the world / tell em what you heard”

    “Ooh I need your love, babe / guess you know it’s true”

    Or the sheer abundance of Beatles lyrics that appear in their songs. I mean, they literally have a line in a song that’s “Fool on the hill and I feel fine.”

  10. There’s a story about Oasis from the early days when they used to rent a communal rehearsal space in Manchester to work on their first album. According to the story, other bands that rented the complex would stop and hear Oasis rehearse the same ten songs over and over again, and after a while it became obvious to them that their songs were blatant rip offs of other well known songs. This led to one of the band members that used the facilities to go over to Oasis’ rehearsal room door, and posting a note that read: “Get your own riffs!”

    1. they did also lend themselves to the real peoples sound, go listen to a song called window pain, its painfully obvious

  11. This is not “Being influenced” by ….. , is more like “Copy/Paste”

  12. Moreover, I always heard the very same Oasis’ “Wonderwall” chord progression in “If I had a gun”, like I think the dude “was inspired” by his own riff and sold it two times…

  13. I understand that sometimes people have similar ideas, but how many of these ‘similarities’ does it take before it’s just stealing haha. As a big Oasis fan, I loved the video!

  14. I miss these videos 😮😃

    One thing to also note is that She’s Electric also borrowed from the song called ā€˜I’d like to buy the world a coke’

    And so did their song Shakermaker. As you just showed in this video. And when Noel was sued for it all he had to say was ā€˜eh we drink Pepsi now.’

    And that’s not the only song Shakermaker borrowed from! The guitar melody (or at least the first two notes of that melody) may have been inspired by Anthem by Ringo Starr.

  15. great vid. most of these are frankly shocking. are there any examples of liam plagiarizing (when he started writing songs)?
