Re: PSB Song Similarities
What's the song that sounds just like Absolutely fabulous?
I sincerely *love* Disco 2 and listen to it straight through regularly.

Re: PSB Song Similarities
Yes, this. Not the whole song, which is plenty different. But the HORNS always remind me of Surrender every time I hear DOTQ. I doubt it was intentional though. It's Better To Travel is a ridiculously strong album for anyone not initiated.synthpopfan wrote: ↑Fri 08 Dec 2017, 6:30 pm I feel that the Boys appropriated Surrender by Swing Out Sister for Dreaming of the Queen:

And tryin' to figure out what happened to 'Germaine Propaine'
"He couldn't have fell off that hard" Ain't no way
"What happened to the way you was rappin' when you was scandalous
That Canibus turned into a television evangelist"
Plus he raps with his regular voice [BOOSH! BOOSH!]
[BOOSH! BOOSH!] (What was that?) Pet Shop Boys

Re: PSB Song Similarities
Eek, that does almost sound like the same music, at least for the verse. Parallel inspiration, or lifted?

Single bilingual, drums are identical and, as far as I’m concerned, both tracks were released approximately at the same time

Elton John - I don't wanna go on with you like that extended - The Shep Pettibone production reminds me of PSB, and the house piano would seem to fit in on the Introspective era. The piano on I Want a Dog album version reminds me of this song.

Seal - loaded. If you haven't heard this, put it on and pretend you're listening to a new PSB song until the vocals kick in. It could easily be with that string pad and base line. Stuart Price production. I suppose it could equally be Confessions era Madonna (also Price).

Released in 2004, versus London in 2002.

I was born in a hospital room with green walls, the doctor who delivered me wore a green overall, so did the nurses hovering around. So much greenery around, its no wonder that it is my favourite colour !

Re: PSB Song Similarities
There are a couple of other quite popular euro/italo-disco songs which have something in common with "It's a sin". "Come Back and Stay" by Bad Boys Blue and "Flames of Love" by Fancy, to name a few.S-sense wrote: ↑Sun 18 Feb 2018, 10:52 am Italo Pop-Genius Savage performing his answer to It's a Sin.

Savage also has a song that sounds similar to Alphaville's "Big in Japan"...
