Let me clarify, I don't hear Elton in Ken, but if you listen closely to
my album, you can hear a small piece of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" in "Over
you" and here is also a small excerpt from The Four Season's "Save it
for me" in "AmiEveliano". Ahh! Rediscovering the wheel.
John Williams stole whole bars (knowingly IMHO) from Eric Korngold's
score to "King's Row" for the main Star Wars theme and the Jaws tension
riff is directly from Dvorak's "New World Symphony". Barry Manilow
had Disney's "When you wish upon a Star" in his cranium when he wrote
"You deserve a break today". Go ahead, sing em. Currently, Holst's
"Jupiter" is making the rounds as the fodder of choice for up close and
personal compositions for the Olympics. I won't go into Coldplay, that
would be too easy....and there was no intent in George Harrison's "My
Sweet Lord". To me, that song has a soul apart from "He's so fine"
