I always thought "It's All Happening" from Bring It On sounded a lot like "Blackout" from In The Heights - especially the lines "it's all a happening" and "powerless, we are powerless".......but then again, both were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, so that's likely the reason.

Oh wow that sounds awesome! Do you have a recording of it by any chance? I would love to listen to it if you have a link :)"

Here's the link!  It's Santa Fe (in the key of F) up until the end of the bridge, at which point it transitions into the last chorus of In My Dreams (key of G).  It ends right before the big "one day" note, then does a bit of movie Newsies at the end (kind of like the end of Jeremy's Disney medley at Elsie Fest).  Hope that makes sense - if you have any questions, let me know!

The title song from Six: The Musical sounds exactly like a song called "Ugly Heart" from a girl group named G.R.L

I always thought “The Letter” from Billy Elliot sounded a lot like “Golden Slumbers” by The Beatles.

Whenever I hear the linked jingle I hear Everything's Coming Up Roses, "I Had a Dream". Those four notes also are at the beginning of Les Miserable's "I Dreamed a Dream" played by the oboe I think.

I always sing the “whoa-oh-ohs” from My Shot over the Balaga Guy’s Spanish part in Carnaval Del Barrio.

“Please Don’t Touch Me” from Young Frankenstein, and “Where Did We Go Right” from The Producers

Reminds me of this vid of Kat McPhee jokingly singing the first line of Rent’s ‘Seasons of Love’ instead of ‘Many the Miles’ at the Waitress sings Bareilles gig last year, because the intros sound so similar, lol!

Not my observation, but ever since Deadpool 2 pointed out "Papa, Can you Hear Me?" and "Do you Wanna Build a Snowman?" from Frozen, I can't stop thinking about it.

I think “Love Can’t Happen” from Grand Hotel sounds like “Sun and Moon” from Miss Saigon; the fast parts of the title number of Into the Woods where everyone overlaps “though it’s fearful, though it’s deep and it’s dark...etc.) is very similar to Anthony and Johanna overlapping one another in Sweeney Todd’s “Kiss Me” (ie “why a reticule”, etc etc). Same writer, so there you are I guess.

"If Ever I Would Leave You," "Almost Like Being In Love," and "On the Street Where You Live" –– musically and lyrically. All by Lerner & Loewe, all with similar purposes in each show, two are the first full song in the Overture (and "Almost" is the first full song in the Brigadoon entr'acte), and two of them are sung by the secondary male character.

I saw Frozen this past weekend and "Monster" gave me a very "Always Starting Over" from If/Then vibe.

I always hear 'What I Did For Love' in "Out There" from HUNCHBACK
Won't resent, won't despair
Old and bent, I won't care
vs

Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love

Snazzy compares Cy Coleman's "Real Live Girl" to "And the Band Played On." The melody is also similar to the march "Stout Hearted Men" from Sigmund Romberg's The New Moon.

Pardon Me Miss / But I've Never Done This
Give Me Ten Men / Who Are Stout Hearted Men

"Sparklejollytwinklejingley" from Elf the Musical and "The Revolutionary Costume For Today" from Grey Gardens pop in my head as well. "When a room is gloomy... " and "That's the Revolutionary Costume..."

There's a song in the first act of BEETLEJUICE that I swore was "Revenge Party" from MEAN GIRLS.

I think that "Say It Somehow" from Light in the Piazza has certain parts that sound a bit like "Loving You" from Passion, especially the part when Fabrizio sings "the sound inside you, this I know"

Wick3 said: "When I first saw Dear Evan Hansen (before the cast album was released)I thought "you will be found" sounded a lotlike the "flashlight" song from Pitch Perfect 2.:

While I can't really put my finger, or rather my tone-challenged ear on it, certain riffs of You Will Be Found immediately take me to Seasons of Love.

This past weekend I heard Kurt Weill and Jacques Deval's Le Train du Ciel (from Marie Galante, 1934) for the first time.

To me it sounds, at least in the first few bars, very much like Gethsemane from JCS.

I mean pretty much everything in In The Heights, Bring It On, and Hamilton sound the same.

DEH "Waving Through A Window" and A Great Big World song "Rockstar" sound nearly identical.

The chorus of Legally Blonde (the ballad) has always reminded me of Part of Your World

During "Nowadays" in "Chicago", there is an instrumental bit that is the same tune as the part "Grab a cab, c'mon, see the wizard on Park" from "Dance 10, Looks 3" from "A Chorus Line".
