Yeah, I've been wondering about that as well. From the moment Crush was released this was pretty much the first Bon Jovi song which people on the internetz started discussing as to how similar it was to One of Us. I reckon it's probably the same kind of feel to the song, the same guitar sounds and all of that. I never felt they were as similar as people say they are, but maybe that's just me?

I'm not so sure about this one, both songs were recorded around the same period but in completely different locations. Although the intro and hook is similar, I very much doubt Jon having nicked something of this song.

This one is great, thanks! I'm suprised how similar this stuff sounds. It's the keyboards and the vocals combined that make it a bit too coincidental for me. I'll add the other suggestions to the list as well.

Salaam Aleikum,
