I've made various videos in the past about songs that seemingly rip off, or at least borrow from, other hit songs that came before them. But there are still plenty more examples of these dubious likenesses in pop songs, so today we'll be looking at nine more examples of songs that are based on other songs.

The outro music to this video is my track "The Longest March" which you can hear in full on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artis....t/0wKKJoOZd8JQJDgGU8 🎶
