Anyone out there want to have a crack at which massive Australian hit of the early eighties sounds eerily like this song?

I'm thinking "Counting the Beat" by The Swingers.Certainly the intro sounds exactly the same.Right or wrong there is nothing new under the sun.

Discovered this via another web site,it nearly made me vomit blood--

I'm a great believer in anyone responsible for a song with VS in the title (and who isn't the original artist) being taken out and shot! :twisted:

I didn't pick it up the first time but year, definately Counting the Beat after hearing the 2nd time.
Sounds like a cross between the Doors and the Swingers! :lol:

At least it's a reasonable rip off and not a carbon copy 'Rogue Traders' job. Just confirms my general belief that it is us old **** AND the Devil that have all the best tunes....
