You guys... songs having the same words doesnt make them " rip off's". Believe it or not, anyone can use all the words in the dictionary. Song's can even have differnet words and they could have copied subject matter.

It's not really about rip-offs. It's just...weird coincidences and possibly references. Nothing is a rip-off until it's proven to be. *supports Green Day shamelessly*
since were going off on random connetions here,
Bad Religion came out with Recipe for Hate on Setember 21st, 1993 and there's a song on that album called "American Jesus". American Idiot came out on Setember 21st, 2004 and OBV there's a song called "Jesus of Suburbia" on it. interesting similarities no?
...I know of three men who haven't been very original with the titles of their latest album.
...what does OBV mean? Anyway, back on topic, I think this is like a case of Opal Mehta. They've absorbed so much stuff that they ended up including some of it. By the way, American Fool is by John Cougar Mellencamp and was released in 1982.
On it, there's a song called "Jack and Diane", which Amazon describes as a poignant slice of life from a small town somewhere in middle America. Jesus of Suburbia is about a guy who lives in a suburb/small town in America and it's JOS' point of view about life in his town.
This is interesting.
oh my god people, you act as if a guy that lives in a small town in america is a weird subject.
...you just described half the population of the USA. so why bother trying to say its 'an interesting similarity'? its not like they both happened to sing a song about a sandwhich composed of cheese,kiwi's, and eggo's.....

Heart stops beating:
You know, you can find a million references if you want..
Yes, we can. This is fun for me and maybe for some other people. No one cares about dead serious "OMG COINKYDINK" type things. Finding references in music is part of it for me. Don't be such killjoys.
Look at pulling teeth and that Metallica song. That's a refrence and it's been confirmed (I think...) That they actually did use part of the song title because it fits with the lyircs.
Song's can even have differnet words and they could have copied subject matter.
