Sometimes I'll hear a song for the first time and am struck by how much like another song it is. For example, "Mercy" by Duffy. I didn't know the name of that song for at least six months because all I could hear was "Stand By Me". But that one was blatant. I know exactly why they sound alike (it's cause they're actually the same song...shhh!).
Another example, "Like You'll Never See Me Again". It took me a while to figure out what I was hearing, but then one day I realized it was "Diamonds And Pearls" by Prince. And for the most part I know why.
Here's the one I don't get. There's a song called "On The Ocean" by an R&B singer named K'Jon. That song sounds a lot like "Lost Without You" by Robin Thicke to me, but I can't figure out why. Can somebody tell me?
