For Music Lovers Only:

Some years ago, George Harrison was sued because the first three notes of "My Sweet Lord" were similar to "The Chiffon's" "He's so fine".
Harrison lost that suit and had to pay. I thought it was ridiculous. With that in mind, check this out...
This is a "new" tune:

    Almost everything is insanely similar. Take your pick (lyrics may be NSFW):

    Four Chord songs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giHf2ATatp8

    Pachelbel's Canon Progression? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM

    Country music? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY8SwIvxj8o

    Pop? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBDNvlvR8vA

    I know that some get away with it because of the ubiquity of the particular chord structure they use, but I'm not sure exactly where the line is.
