      - The intro of Franz Ferdinand's Ulysses
        
        is near as dammit Spoon's I Turn My Camera On.
        
        Also, Trouble by Pink has a guitar riff throughout that's virtually note for note nicked from a Husker Du song off Warehouse Songs And Stories the title of which currently escapes me.

      - there's a Shed Seven song which is a note for note ripoff of the Stones' Back Street Girl
        
        It's on A Maximum High, I think it's Out By My Side.
        
        Back Street Girl was on the original Between The Buttons but only the UK version, which has never been released on CD. Canny move by the Sheds, because a quick Google suggests that noboby else has noticed this one.
        
        Check it out, it's the most shameless thing I've ever heard.

        Mind it's certainly not my favorite Pavement moment, and they lifted a few ideas themselves from Flying Nun bands and the Fall.

        Don't have the links to hand...
        
        ...but there's a track on Arthur Lee's unloved 1992 album "Arthur Lee & Love" (aka "Five String Serenade") which is an exact note-for-note rip of "Can't Seem To Make You Mine" by The Seeds. Except the senile old sod credited it as a whole new composition. Whoops!

        I reckon Johnny Flynn's Tickle Me Pink
        
        sounds exactly like 'If You're Into It' by Flight of the Conchords.
        But I don't know which came first.

        Bizarre?
        
        Plenty of people noticed Davy Graham died. And he doesn't get any credit for "Black Mountain Side" because it wasn't him they supposedly ripped off – it was Bert Jansch. Here:
