I can kind of see it, but you'll have to put me in the "I don't agree with you" group. I'm sure there are several short lines are as similar as these too. > In general, there is a LOT of recycling in Jim's music.

In my Steinman iTunes playlist, I've tried to group the songs by type, like putting "Confessions of a Vampire" (great job on NBMN II, btw) next to "Objects" and other similar groupings. It's not always easy to group them like this. I have Rory's and the Everly Bros. "Kiss" grouped in with Meat's version, even though the earlier version has bits of "Frying Pan" in it. Has anyone noticed that the ending/coda of Meat's "More Than You Deserve" (the "ooooh"s at the end) is reused in "The Future"? That hit me right away, but I'm not sure how obvious it was to other people. sb | |
