The Byrds' "Wild Mountain Thyme" vs. the VU

[MJG196]

Listen to the first 3 seconds of this tune, and tell me that it sounds nothing like the melody used in a particular VU song. I'll let one of you say which VU song, so I know I'm not goin' crazy.

Here She Comes Now?

[threechordwonder]

What I hear is ... Temptation Inside Your Heart

Now who is going crazy?

Lady Godiva's Operation?

[Waldo_Jeffers]

it's definitely Here She Comes Now, but nothing more than both writers riffing on a sliding D chord - i don't think there's any deliberate plagiarism or homage here...?

[MJG196]

I hear the melody from Pale Blue Eyes! lol

[calaminehello]

To me it sounds like 'Turn Turn Turn' by the Byrds..
