Catchy pop songs come and go. But what happens when a tune you like is played incessantly and sounds eerily similar to another tune from an earlier era? That's the case with the selections below. Some were even so blatantly similar that they ended up in court. "Hotline Bling" by Drake sounds similar to "Why Can't We Live Together" by Timmy Thomas "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke sounds similar to "Got To Give It Up" by Marvin Gaye "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith sounds similar to "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson, featuring Bruno Mars, sounds similar to both "Jungle Love" by Morris Day and The Time and "Oops Upside Your Head" by The Gap Band "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga sounds similar to "Express Yourself" by Madonna "Some Nights" by fun.
