Listen to "Computer Love" by Kraftwerk (off Computer World) then listen to "Talk" by Coldplay (off X&Y). Same melody!

Not excactly news, is it?

Coldplay never tried to hide that they've based the whole track on Computer World. Kraftwerk got paid a lot of money for it, and I think they also share the writing credits (if what I've I've read somewhere is correct).
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

The Kate Bush song? I don't see the similarity there.

Yeah I believe it was that song. Came right from Martin's mouth.

Speed of Sound was the song I meant when I said "sound of science".
