I must be on crack also, as i always thought the horns in Metropolis were from the James Bond Theme. I always thought this song had a James Bond in ireland sort of vibe to it...

The horn part in Metropolis is borrowed from Tom Waits' 'Midtown' from the Rain Dods album.

Add Come Me Little Son by Ewan MacCall and Peggy Seeger to the list of songs using this exact music...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmmm...was listening to a CD I bought a couple years ago in Doolin, Ireland and there's a song on there called "Englands Motorway".

It's the same melody as the traditional song "Homes of Donegal"...and thus also the same melody as "The Song With No Name" from The Snake....

Melody-wise, Jack's Heroes sounds a lot like Wild Colonial Boy....

Fyllo wrote:The Body of An American, the middle intrumental part. It is alot like the melody in the ska classic "Guns Of Navarone" with for example The Skatalites.

I read the above on the F.O.S. forum.

maybe it's just me, but the melody of this verse of hot dogs with everything;
Well I was looking at the colors in the city lights
Laughing in the back out of fuckin' delight
Get out a fag and I'll give you a light ---blaaaahh

sounds a lot like the verse of John denver's Leaving On a Jet Plane... spooky? coincidence?

The instrumental section of 'Living In A World Without Her' sounds a lot like a tune for 'Johnny Miner'.

South Australia (from If I Should Fall...):
-not sure if there was a final verdict on the other thread, but it seems the intrumental bit at the end of this song is either a Reel called 'Salmon Tails Down the Water' or a Polka called 'Red Haired Mary'. I listened to MIDI files of both, and I'm going with 'Salmon Tails Down the Water'.

It's not a reel. It's definately a polka. I was told that it was "The Seige of Ennis" which is a set of Irish dance polkas, this being one of them. But "Red Haired Mary" could be the correct name (as well). I heard "The Derry Hornpipe" sounding just like "The Tipperary Hornpipe". I guess Irish tunes have different titles, depending on where you are hearing it from at the time.

Has no-one noticed, or is it too obvious to say that Sayonara borrows a bit off Van Morrisons Moonshine Whiskey?

"Oh, she give me moonshine whiskey
Oh, she give me southern love
Deep in the heart of texas
There beneath the stars above
Oh, she give me southern comfort
Oh, she give me moonshine love
Deep in the heart of texas
There beneath the stars above"
