I always heard the similiarity between No-one Driving and Airport too, though No-one Driving was, in my totally biased opinion, a much better single.

If you listen carefully enough you can hear similarities between many pieces of music but it doesn't necessarily indicate plagiarism, especially in pop music where certain formulae tend to be applied in the pursuit of commercial success. Speaking of which, how about JF plagiarising Andrew Lloyd Webber. Sing these two lyrics one after the other and see what you think:

Sitting in the shadows that the leaves make.

Don't cry for me Argentina.

I'm never gonna get that out of my head now, ta.


Okay, who should we choose to cover Just For A Moment from one of these three famous Argentina singing tina's:

(A) - Julie Covington.

(B) - Madonna.

(C) - Elaine Paige.

For me Elaine was always too mummsy, and if we give it to Madge she'd probably insist on squeezing into a leotard for any video promo, so I think I'll go for the Rock Follies rock chick Covington of 76/77 smile
