The worst example of this has to be the verses to Coffee & Toast being identical to Blondie's Sunday Girl.

But I can't think of much else apart from that, and that song didn't even get released after they ruined it in the studio.

Any other examples?

"I Know What I'm Here For" is very similar in tune and in sound to "Secret" by OMD. The verse is almost identical, only speeded up, while the synth rhythm isn't a million miles off and the overall feel is pretty similar. Whenever I get IKWIHF caught in my head it always quickly turns into "Secret".
