For today I've got an obvious example of borrowing a musical motiff from another song. Although maybe not all of the listeners have noticed the similarity at the time, I'm sure David Guetta did see it and took Coldplay's famous piano riff on purpose. This is David Guetta's 2009 summer hit When Love Takes Over.
And here, the original - Coldplay and their Clocks:
Now it's perfectly clear, isnt't it? Note that Coldplay's riff is really something special - the scale they used, though I can't explain properly (my shameful lack of knowledge, maybe some of you could do it?), is really something original and distinctive! Ah, music! =)
