Good idea, I have just attempted to repair this thread the best I can. Dead links have been replaced (apart from one I cannot remember) and artists/titles have been added.

I mentioned this on the "More" thread but it's the first time I have listened in a while:

Super Furry Animals - Pan Ddaw'r Wawr

I think that the intro sounds a bit like "Grown Ups"

Maybe too obvious but...

Elusive Butterfly by Bob Lind

Well, Jarvis and Hawley thought the song sounded like this, didn't they? They got to play Elusive Butterfly with the man himself at a festival a few years ago.

Indeed, the homage is so explicit it's right in the title. But I was still pretty startled when I heard Elusive Butterfly -- artists have been sued on much flimsier grounds, and I'm glad Mr. Lind is not the litigious sort.

I think that the record label would check and credit the original writer on the sleeve / pay royalties if necessary.

"Disco 2000" had the working title of "Gloria" and definitely sounds like it. I'm sure with such a big hit, we would have heard if there were any problems.

I was sat in a pub the other day, this came on and I found myself singing (in my head) "The night was ending, he needed her undressed..."

Georgie Fame - Yeh Yeh

I heard this in a cafe today, took me a while to place were I knew it from

m.youtube.com/watch

I thought a cover version of A Trick Of The Light by Jarvis and Chilly was a pretty surprising thing to hear in a cafe, I realise now from looking in the liner notes that the song actually credits the writer of The Last Tango in Paris theme writer Gato Barbieri as writer of the music but Ive never seen the film and had no idea it wasnt written by ChillyG.

Yes, the original even has some of the mood of Room 29. I watched Last Tango In Paris once, and thought it was pretty horrible. However, I think I was about 13 at the time. Can't remember much, but I think it had a claustrophobic atmosphere, which fits with how some of Room 29 made me feel. Wonderful album, haven't had it out for a year or two, good reminder to put it on again.
