This coincidence took a slight detour before ending up as it appears today.
To begin with, my friend Michael (Hi, Michael!) heard a song by a low-fi indie band called The Spook School. The opening vocal melody…
The Spook School – “Are You Who You Think You Are?“ (2011) (excerpt)
…reminded Michael of this:
The Angels – “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again” (1976) (excerpt)
But when Michael told me about that Spook School melody, I thought it sounded more like this:
Skyhooks – “You Just Like Me Cos I’m Good in Bed” (1974) (excerpt)
Here are the full versions:
The Spook School – “Are You Who You Think You Are?“ (2011)
The Angels – “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again” (1976)
Skyhooks – “You Just Like Me Cos I’m Good in Bed” (1974)
By the way, that song by The Angels was embroiled in a musical controversy, in that it ripped off a song and never acknowledged the rip-off. (Warning: Self-Promotion Alert) I just happen to have a post about it.
