MOST ILLINGEST B-BOY, THAT'S WHAT I'M FEELING, 'CAUSE I AM MOST ILL AND I'M RHYMING AND STEALING: Matt points out below the similarity, intentional or not, between "Putting on the Ritz" and "Istanbul (not Constantinople)" (the latter being a burr in the side of any non-a capella fan at certain a capella-heavy campuses in the Northeast). Adam drew our attention a day or two ago to a nearly seamless mash-up of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams are Made of These" and the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army."

My question, and I've been beating this horse for half my life now, is who stole from whom? Bob Marley (1:30-1:45 for the relevant bridge) from the Banana Splits, or the Banana Splits from Bob Marley?
