Hey, Doesn't That Sound Like...?

Welcome to Typing Pool's bi-yearly Music Conspiracy Theory post.

When you think about it, don't these songs sound -- I dunno -- a little too similar?

Exhibit A:

"Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood
"Take Me Out" by the Franz Ferdinand

Exhibit B:

"Crimson and Clover" by Tommy James and the Shondells or Joan Jett (take your pick; clearly one of these more closely mirrors Karen O.)
"Our Time" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Exhibit C:

"The Middle" by Jimmy Eats World
"Such Great Heights" by Iron and Wine

Don't shoot the messenger.
