These two selections aren't too surprising as they were both written by the same persons (Grant Clarke and Maurice Abrahams)
He'd Have To Get Under, Get Out And Get Under (1913)

They Start The Victrola (1914)

Amazing thread, spent the best part of an enjoyable hour or three comparing the similarities. What does surprise me though is, the apparent lack of litigation for plagiarising the work of another. There was a a famous case when, after the split of The Beatles, George Harrison was successfully sued by the management of The Chiffons, for claiming originality of "My Sweet Lord." Apparently it was a remix of The Chiffons number: "He's So Fine." So, how did Christina Aguilera get away with"Candyman?" Is it The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, or what?
Then again, there a young lady, name of Eliza Doolittle, who recorded: "Pack It Up." Is that not George Asaf's Pack Up Your Troubles?.

The one that perplexes me is Following You Around, which was one of several theme songs used by Morecambe and Wise on their TV show. It was originally written and recorded in 1928 by Roger Wolfe Kahn but someone named Sylvan Whittingham Mason claims to have written it in 1970. And, indeed, she is credited as the composer/writer on Eric & Ernie's recording of the song.

Don't know how I've managed to miss this thread. But, yeah, Pachabels Canon is in a LOT more than Hook. This goes on for a bit first, but he's playing it the whole time...
