If I'm right, you're going "sampled" when I've gone "inspired by" or "nicked shamelessly from". This may also be the case with Two Tribes being nominated by @JWL Would Lady Lynda by The Beach Boys fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've REALLY looked at them, and at Boof's two confirmed suggestions and there's absolutely nothing coming out at me. Given how few lyrics there actually are in Message in a Bottle or Sugar, Sugar, that's quite something. I'll have to give it a break and revisit once I've got some proper work done this afternoon!

Here's another ..'til IPK gets his head around a Rush related link. What links the following three songs ? As before, don't state the link; just add to the list. David Bowie - Starman KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See Higher and Higher - Jackie Wilson Fairly easy..and nothing from Rush fits the bill.
