I was reading Wikipedia’s entry on Split Enz and got to the section on Dizrythmia, where it said this about one of its tracks:
[“My Mistake“‘s] introduction bears a close resemblance to Jack Clement‘s novelty single “My Voice Keeps Changing On Me” [sic], a song that Noel Crombie later covered in 1983.
Well, that was something I didn’t know.
Let’s see…
Split Enz – “My Mistake“ (1977) (excerpt)
Jack Clement – “My Voice Is Changing” (1963) (excerpt)
Yep.
Here are the full versions, along with Noel Crombie’s effort:
