Oh, no, it's not just you... that's, uh... like the entire background of the song, stolen...

Yeah, but "This Charming Man" is itself a wholesale rip-off of The Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love." In fact, I've been toying with the idea of doing a mash-up of these two.

Yes, the background music is the same

Here's another plagiarism. Spain's annual advert for Christmas lottery. It's very similar to the end of "Please Please Please let me get what I want"

Really? The rhythm maybe, but not the tune. I'm sure Rogan or Goddard would have mentioned it before.
