I was listening to Maio & Co / Black Power, and I was astounded at how much of a rip it is of Big Brother / Wild Reputation - right down to identical chord sequence, very similar sound synths in the instrumentals, drum usage - really only the lyrics and melody make them in any way distinct. I had wondered if the two songs shared any writers or producers, but they really don't.

So I'm forced to wonder just how often EB producers go around ripping each other's songs off We've already seen it more recently with Time's production of Bad Bad Bad and its incredible similarities with Delta's Boom Boom Fire, but the two I mentioned above are an even bigger example.

Anyone else found songs from different EB labels which are incredibly similar?

Let's see...

Morena - Opne Your Heart --> Dave & Domino - Friday Night

Mela - Help Me --> Groove Twins - Love Bang Bang

Michael Davidson - Turn It Up --> Thomas & Schubert - Crank It Up

ditto --> F.C.F. - Bad Desire --> Macho Gang - Love Desire

Terry Gordon - Boomerang --> Vicky Vale - Let Me Be Your Baby

Max Coveri - Bye Bye Baby --> Jilly - Take A Look In My Heart

Sinitta - GTO --> Radiorama - ABCD

Kylie Minogue - Got To Be Certain --> Vanessa - I'm Ready
Kylie Minogue - Better The Devil You Know --> Mark Rise - Love Is Blue

Phil Jones - Tokyo Lights -->Romeo - Tokyo Nights

Big Fun - Can't Shake The Feeling --> Queen 26 - More Than A Feeling


many more...

Hrhm I had never noticed the identical features in Boomerang & Let Me Be Your Baby but now that you mentioned it does sound rather obvious...

both songs though, also a reminder that Boomerang should be released as a full version on the extended discs ;C

Stop Limit Line - Say You Love Me -> Buddy Bo - Hard Beat

That's the one I remember the most

Oresama-chan described it very well.

I must be deaf but I never can hear the similarities with Boom Boom Fire and Bad Bad Bad. Even on 180 (was it 180? I forgot) when they actually sung the lyrics of Boom Boom Fire to Bad Bad Bad's music... I still don't understand how it's the same.

This is only semi-related. People tended to rip on Cherry's "Abracadabra" remake of the Steve Miller song, but how do those people feel about Go Go Girls - "My Sweet Banana", which ALSO rips the Steve Miller song wholesale during the chorus?

I also agree with Nine about "Bad Bad Bad". I see where some people are going to say it's the same song as Boom Boom Fire, but they split off in different places. Bad Bad Bad isn't nearly as dynamic of a song.

I'm 100 % sure the 'mister' Maiolini' isen't a very good friend of Pasquini.
So that whole story of ending ABEATC and go back to Time is a nice joke!

And if you look at the back of the "Black power" sleeve, 'ALEPH' is mentioned anyway. Those where the 'times' that the relationship between the two gentlemen was good.

Rather than list a bunch of other songs, I'll just say that these kind of similiarities is what I love about Eurobeat

I just can't resist:
Cherry- Too Cool To Fall In Love
Virgin- All Your Love

Baby One- USA
Vanessa- You Don't Give Me Love(only the main hook)

Dan Harrow- Future Brain
Atrium- Side Side

Must stop

And of course rather recently

Pamsy - Once Upon A Time ----> Mr.M - The World Is You

Also to a slight degree because of the lyrics

The Trammps - Disco Inferno ----> Fastway - 1234 Fire!

Dr. Money - Power Gun
P. Stone - Hooligans
Even the vocalist is the same

What comes to mind is the intro for

Suzy Lazy - Din Don Dan ===> Bazooka Girl - Flying Around The World

Some songs maybe only the senior citizens know:

Tom Hooker - Looking For Love -> Alphatown - Body Rock (also a descendant of F.C.F. Bad Desire)

Novecento - Movin' On -> Jenny Kee - New Love
(no, I can't resist bringing up the beautiful voice of Dora Carofiglio once more! Dora, I miss you! )

Bazookistan / Mad Cow & the Royal Eurobeat Orchestra of Bazookistan
Little Don / The Factory Team

Pretty obvious

Exciteable / Mako
Bang Bang Bang / Joe Banana

C-melodies are almost identical.

If we're going to include non-EB-label rips, then:

Donna Summer / I Don't Wanna Get Hurt --> Kelly Wright / How Deep Is Your Love
