Built for speed - Stray Cats / Surprise surptise - Rolling Stones

Try to have a listen to this one. Guitar riff is very close the one Setzer does

Even the sound of the guitar is the same. Nothing wrong with being inspired, both great songs

like Gimme Some Rhythm Daddy inspired "fais moi mal johnny to Boris Vian".

Holy s... that's close

There are a few more which are close, Everybody's Movin' is nearly the same as Everybody Needs Rock N Roll!

The pre chorus to the Dave Edmunds song 'Every Time I See Her' is certainly reminiscent of what would become the bridge after the guitar solo in the Stray Cats 'Runaway Train'.


(I don't know what's with the Final Fantasy clip though )

For me though, this certainly isn't a negative or bad thing.
I find it very interesting when somebody can take any given source material and adapt or transform it.

I was listening to the Sun records box set yesterday & a lot of the Carl perkins stuff is very similar too , just that classic thing being carried on ..
