10 Most Blatant Ripoffs In Rock History 

Up until the early 2010's, the rock world wasn't really lacking in the indie rock boom coming from the underground. While you could normally expect acts like Neon Trees and even the sellout rock of Kings of Leon to grace the charts every now and again, Fun.'s album Some Nights really hit the indie rock ceiling, turning Jack Antanoff into one of the most in-demand producers of the modern age. That's not to say that he hadn't turned in his pop nerd card though.

For most of the title track, Some Nights is a thrilling ride, as these three guys look to do what appears to be the post modern hipster version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Though Nate Ruess clearly has the vocal chops to pull off something like this, the origins of it feel much more indebted to the folk rock side of the spectrum, particularly Paul Simon's Cecilia.

Originally appearing on Bridge Over Troubled Water, the wordless chant that is the backbone of Some Nights is almost ripped exclusively from the melody of Cecilia, which is made even more apparent when some videos on YouTube play the two back to back or in conjunction with one another. So next time the boomers complain about how far music has come as a form of expression, just remember what we took from their glory days.
