YouTube - Coldplay - Violet Hill


YouTube - Ouch! A Tribute To The Rutles-Cheese And Onions 2


Do you think anything about the verse of Coldplay's Violet Hill sound like The Rultes' Cheese & Onions?

I'm not saying the whole song is; I know each chorus in both songs take a different direction. I just think the melody of the verse and piano playing is very similar. Ironicly enough the Rulte's piano is more complicated then Codplay's, I think it is sad that a spoof band can out play Coldplay. So if you take the "left hand" part out and keep the right-hand part (of Cheese & Onions) it's almost the same quarter chords play at a slow tempo like in Violet Hill.

From the very first time I heard Violet Hill on the car radio, I knew I heard it somewhere before, I thought of every Beatle song, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks it's the Rutles.
