New Wave Outpost Forum

So like what I mean as examples are:

[b]Rational Youth - Dancing On The Berlin Wall[/b]
In which they 'borrowed' from Kraftwerk's [i]Computerweldt[/i]

OR

[b]The Thompson Twins - Love On Your Side[/b]
In wich they re-quote themselves with a few notes/bars from [i]In The Name Of Love[/i]

Lyrics count as well.

What elese is there? I'm sure dozens exist... Have fun! [:)]

Big Audio Dynamite "Globe"

Sting quotes himself in "We'll Be Together"

Not NW, but Veruca Salt's "Volcano Girls" contains riffs and lyrics from "Seether".

U2 fans probably know the opening riff of "Bullet The Blue Sky"; Steve Lilywhite was
a studio whiz on that session;
does the opening of "Brave New World" by Toyah sound familiar? Steve Lilywhite
was a studio whiz on that session a few years before the U2 track'

Sting, again:

The final verse of "O My God" off [i]Synchronicity[/i] is ripped from the final fading lines of "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic".

He sort of parodies "Every Breath You Take" at the end of "Love Is the Seventh Way".

The Clash is sampled, and The Who in another song, as well as numerous ska, rocksteady, and reggae classics on other tracks, plus film scores and dialog from old 'western' films as well.

not new wave at all, but in the mid-80's John Fogerty was sued because his album "Center Field" sounded too much like CCR.

Hmmm. Imagine that.

Also not new wave, but April Wine's song "I Like to Rock" overlays the guitar riffs from "Daytripper" and "Satisfaction".

"Photography with a Vision"

Men Without Hats threw their synth riff from "The Safety Dance" into "Pop Goes The World."

Also, regarding Kraftwerk -- see Coldplay's "Talk" (I think this is well known).

Does the The Psychedelic Furs' "My Time" from the Mirror Moves album quote lyrics from a song on their previous album "Forever Now?"

I just heard the song and the lyrics sounded very similar or quoted exactly to an earlier song they wrote.

Swedish kitsch band Army of Lovers got some airplay here with the song "Crucified," which had exactly the same melody as their earlier song "Shine Like a Star."

Garbage used the line "You're the talk of the town" at the end of their song "Special" as an homage to Chrissie Hynde, as the Pretenders first single was the song "Brass in Pocket" with the lyric "I'm Special."
