This is my favourite rejoinder to the idea that "the chorus sounds really similar, it must be plagiarism!", from the KLF's "The Manual" (https://www.tomrobinson.com/resource/klf.txt https://www.tomrobinson.com/resource/klf.txt): We await the day with relish that somebody dares to make a dance record that consists of nothing more than an electronically programmed bass drum beat that continues playing the fours monotonously for eight minutes. Then, when somebody else brings one out using exactly the same bass drum sound and at the same beats per minute (B.P.M.), we will all be able to tell which is the best, which inspires the dance floor to fill the fastest, which has the most sex and the most soul. There is no doubt, one will be better than the other. Admittedly this is from a book that explicitly recommends ripping off other songs as the basis for your own short-lived masterpiece.
