The bigger song is the one people think of when they hear a similiar melody or rhythm. This even goes for covers.

I agree. It almost makes you forget it was a take off. My question is more leaning towards this fandom. I think it's either okay that they take off other songs or its not. There's this imaginary middle ground since 2000 when we get up in arms that Jon (and Richie) stole from someone else but they've been doing it for decades. I guess it hit me that we can't be picky when they do it for songs we really like.
