I&#x27;ve made a public playlist [1] on Spotify with the pairs of songs from that article, plus a bonus pair that wasn&#x27;t covered in the article.<p>The odd numbers songs are the newer songs, with each of those immediately followed by the song it was accused of infringing.<p>I was also going to include a pair where there was no copyright dispute as far as I know and I&#x27;m not sure why because the newer song sure sounds like it has the same chord progressions, melody, structure, and arrangement, but Spotify only has the newer song.<p>YouTube has them both so here they are there:<p>Newer song [2]: &quot;Jolly Roger&quot; by Adam and the Ants from 1980.<p>Older song [3]: &quot;The March of the MacGregors&quot; by Ennio Morricone for the 1966 movie &quot;Seven Guns for the MacGregors&quot;.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;open.spotify.com&#x2F;playlist&#x2F;5g9P8Xn9s3SGR19ilOg6Lq?si=797e53d8bfd34cad" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;open.spotify.com&#x2F;playlist&#x2F;5g9P8Xn9s3SGR19ilOg6Lq?si=...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=YR4n-oo32Jg">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=YR4n-oo32Jg</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=N5JQ1JTsJ4k">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=N5JQ1JTsJ4k</a>
