Stand By Me written by Ben E. King in 1961:

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me



The Unforgettable Fire by U2 written in 1984:

And if the mountain should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear - no, not I
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie







:ohmy: *twilight zone music*

Thank You by Led Zeppelin

If the sun refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you and me.

Everything is ripped off of the bible :tsk:

Psalm 26:1-3

1 God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.
2 So we will not fear when earthquakes come
and the mountains crumble into the sea.
3 Let the oceans roar and foam.
Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!

... and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is just "More Than a Feeling" by Boston - check out that riff in the chorus! :wink:

Not really - four chords played with a similar chunka-chunka style, but not the same chords. The first two chords in each song go to the fourths, but that's about it.
 
Weird. The original poster just made an observation, and some people accuse zoo99 of accusing Prince he stole from U2. In fact, he never did. Nobody is making a big deal about this, except the ones accusing zoo99.

Cool song by the way, and reminds me of IWF.
