I went to have a shower and a guy was obviously having a massage in a room next to where the shower was. I heard this lady say "Oh, what are you doing tonight?" And he said "I'm going to see Coldplay". And she said "Do you like that band?" And he said "Well, I would have preferred U2 but that's the best they've got on offer". CM

Don't see it (although Spanish Rain is a direct ripoff of Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark)

Well maybe not exactly the same song, but I thought there were some strong similarities.

I don't really see many simlaties. Lyric wise the songs are structured complelty different and music wise it doesn't really feel as Charlie Brown- though I probably would only say a few notes are shared.

Now that I think about it, the only similarities I thought of before posting were basically that they made me want to go 'ole ole ole' haha

How awkward, should think again before starting threads.
Soz guys lol.

Don't feel bad, it made me look into the song (I know the name, but really I couldn't put name to tune) and remember how awesome it is.

The moment I first heard Charlie Brown live, I was reminded of Don Quixote/Spanish Rain. Now that I've heard the studio version, I maintain my belief that Charlie Brown is either the direct evolution of Don Quixote/Spanish Rain, or at least borrows some elements, because I just can't hear Charlie Brown without thinking of it. And I loved Don Quixote/Spanish Rain, so that I at least got Charlie Brown is quite heartening.

Unfortunately comparing Spanish Rain to Charlie Brown is comparing Charlie Brown to a song that was unintentionally copied from Bruce Springstein's Dancing in the Dark. They probably scrapped Spanish Rain as soon as someone pointed it out...
