I love both Alanis Morrisette’s You Oughta Know and Adele’s Someone Like You. This is probably because it is the same song, only Someone Like You was written by a whiny wimp.
Adele wonders why Old Boyfriend “hides from the light”. Because he knows you’re a crazy woman who will show up unannounced begging to be remembered. As opposed to Alanis’ Old Boyfriend who should have gotten the fuck out of Dodge or at least changed his stupid locks. Ask Gloria Gaynor.
Are there any other songs that strike you as the same song written differently?
