Title: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Don_Zabu on July 03, 2010, 11:35:07 PM For some reason, people seem to like taking the titles of famous Beach Boys tunes and putting them on their own half-baked songs.
So far, I've got "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and "California Gurls" by Katy Perry. Anyone else in on this sordid business? Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Wirestone on July 04, 2010, 01:14:31 AM The Magnetic Fields have a "California Girls" of their own.
Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: The Heartical Don on July 04, 2010, 02:43:49 AM Agree. 'Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again' is a sh*t form of plagiarism. The guilty party should be sued.

The guilty party should be sued. Damn right - who the f*** does this Dennis Wilson think he is ? I mean, it's not as if the song's any damn good... ;) Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: The Heartical Don on July 04, 2010, 04:55:15 AM Agree.

Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: willy on July 04, 2010, 04:36:20 PM The Kaiser Chiefs did a song called 'Caroline Yes'
Tears For Fears did a song called 'Brian Wilson Said' Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Myk Luhv on July 04, 2010, 05:09:41 PM Leon Russell wrote a song which he titled "Good Vibrations" because he was a funny guy.
Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Eric Aniversario on July 04, 2010, 11:40:15 PM "Do It Again" by Steely Dan
"Here Today" by Paul McCartney "Little Bird" by Majestic "Wonderful" by Majestic "All I Wanna Do" by Sheryl Crow (ugghh sorry) "Wind Of Change" by Scorpions (not quite the same title, but pretty close) Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: runnersdialzero on July 05, 2010, 01:45:02 AM "Here Today Gone Tomorrow" by the Ramones (likely an intentional nod, given that they were Beach Boys fans)
And not exactly title lifting, but a reference - I know a song entitled "Close Your Eyes and Be Still". Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Pretty Funky on July 05, 2010, 03:07:42 AM "All I Wanna Do" by Sheryl Crow (ugghh sorry) Also Dannii Minogue plus http://www.amiright.com/music-trivia/same-title-different-song/babyblue.shtml http://www.amiright.com/music-trivia/same-title-different-song/breakaway.shtml http://www.amiright.com/music-trivia/same-title-different-song/herecomesthenight.shtml http://www.amiright.com/music-trivia/same-title-different-song/inmyroom.shtml http://www.amiright.com/music-trivia/same-title-different-song/whenigrowup.shtml ...and I may have missed some more. http://www.amiright.com/music-trivia/same-title-different-song/ Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Paulos on July 05, 2010, 09:47:42 AM Darlin' - David Rogers
Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Mr. Cohen on July 05, 2010, 10:06:47 AM U2 - "Wild Honey".
Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Rocker on July 05, 2010, 02:29:37 PM U2 - "Wild Honey". And the Beatles "Wild honey pie" ( I know, it's not the exact same name) Los Lobos had their own "Don't worry baby" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tao8rbrnfbc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tao8rbrnfbc) Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: smile-holland on July 05, 2010, 10:41:14 PM Annie Lennox - Little Bird
Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Sammy on July 05, 2010, 10:59:08 PM two album names:
endless summer - fennesz child is father to the man - blood sweat and tears Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: runnersdialzero on July 05, 2010, 11:14:44 PM I doubt many of these were genuinely "stolen". Phrases like "little bird" etc. have been around long before the Beach Boys.

However, Majestic are very BB-influenced, and they have 2 "stolen" titles on one album (Wonderful and Little Bird). I don't think that it was coincidental in this case.Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: runnersdialzero on July 05, 2010, 11:50:00 PM I doubt many of these were genuinely "stolen".

Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Amanda Hart on July 12, 2010, 12:13:43 PM Roy Orbison's 1967 single Lana: http://www.last.fm/music/Roy+Orbison/_/Lana
I love this song, I think it is a better song than the Beach Boys' Lana Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: joe_blow on July 12, 2010, 01:14:16 PM The Charlatans:
Forever Feel Flows They also have used a lot of Beach Boys references; one that comes to mind is the song The Blind Stagger which used the same musical chorus as Rainbows. Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on July 13, 2010, 07:56:53 AM 'Breakaway' - Kelly Clarkson
'Oh Darlin' - The Beatles (oh wait! They did it first! :) ) Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Alex on July 13, 2010, 01:01:19 PM Gretchen Wilson-California Girls
Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: Summertime Blooz on May 19, 2012, 08:47:34 AM Not song titles, but Saint Etienne put out a CD entitled 'So Tough'. If there was any doubt that the title was a direct homage to the Beach Boys, there was also a deluxe edition of the CD that included a companion disc entitled 'You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone'. Apples In Stereo put out 'Heroes & Villains: Music Inspired By The Powerpuff Girls'.
Song titles re-purposed: Cornelius- God Only Knows (Fantasma CD) Pizzicato Five- Let's Go Away For Awhile (Pizzicatomania CD) Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: I. Spaceman on May 19, 2012, 08:51:04 AM Not song titles, but Saint Etienne put out a CD entitled 'So Tough'. If there was any doubt that the title was a direct homage to the Beach Boys, there was also a deluxe edition of the CD that included a companion disc entitled 'You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone'. And they had another CD entitled Good Humor, a fine Beach Boys reference. Title: Re: Song Titles Stolen By Other Artists Post by: SamMcK on May 19, 2012, 09:09:34 AM I think The Kinks did a song called 'Do It Again' in the 80's.
