Four Thieves?

It just dawned to me that the Avett Brothers' Pretend Love from their 2006 album Four Thieves Gone sounds an awful lot like Weird Al's I Was Only Kidding from his 1992 album Off The Deep End.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I guess it seems a lot like the minor difference between Garth Brooks's Beer Run and Todd Snider's Beer Run which was determined to be different enough to not warrant giving Snider credit for.

While we're at it: doesn't Ska favorite Skankin' Pickle's I Missed the Bus sound a lot like Kriss Kross's I Missed the Bus?
