Now, is it just me, or does Orbit's "medicine" sound like it's taken more than just a little influence from The Pixies, but everytime I hear that song I think that, and for the life of me I cannot find the one that has that... bass riff? Is that what it is? I'm crap with music, but ye know what I mean, right? Can anyone help me out, or am I just being paranoid?

I can hear parts of "gigantic" and "gougeaway" in there, but upon a comparison between the two, it seems I'm mistaken.

Do you agree?

And are there any others that you think bear more than just a passing resemblance to another track? (Evidence would be helpful to most, I'd assume, but don't worry if it's not possible.

)

Last night I dreamt that I was you. I was dressed all in black with dark glasses & attitude. Such a pose I could simply not hold.

You come around looking 1984
You’re such a bore, 1984!
You star child, you’re using it like a whore!
It’s better than before, oh it’s better than before!
You come around sounding 1972
You did nothing new, 1972!
Where's the 'f**k you'?
Where’s the black & blue?

Just realised I hadnt' included the link to the Orbit track (as my pooter was spazzing at the time) so here it is: Orbit - medicine.

What do you think - does it sound Pixies-esque?
