This should come as no surprise. Modern music is chalk full of covers and remakes of old songs. The record companies know they can make the song profitable if it was profitable originally, but they also know they can get away with being unoriginal because the young people they're marketing the rehashed music to won't recognize it.

I have heard solo artists and side-projects sample or invoke the original band to which they belonged, and some things are done as 'homage'. It depends on how up-front the artist is about it. Tool is a prime example of being accused of aping another band's work, but they made the work in question their own IMO. They did copy the 'feeling' in an unmistakable way, but not individual riffs.

I would add, if your work was ever used in a TV commercial, it should forever be banished from the radio. For a long time KFC used Sweet Home Alabama as a catch tune, further beating the song into oblivion as if 'classic rock' radio hadn't done that enough.

Adrian Belew... All Her Love Is Mine, Highwire Guitar, and Skyblue Redbird Greenhouse.

Composers quote from each other all the time.  Elvis first big one, Love Me Tender, is just a new set of lyrics for Aura Lee.  There is a very limited vocabulary in diatonic music, thirteen notes, to be exact.  Composers are bound to run into the same series, even by accident.

Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote one of the most quoted songs.  It is in act two of the Pirates of Penzance.  The pirates number "Come, friends, who plough the sea" is often sung with different lyrics, usually "Hail, hail, the gang's all here".

The classical composers swiped things from each other with mad abandon.  Remember that much of their stuff is based on folk tunes they knew from their childhood or collected.

Currently, I am listening to a piece of original, pure music that I don't think anyone has swiped.  Jean Sebelius' Symphony No. 2.

When it comes to composition, people shouldn't be so stuck up.  The copyright laws are nonsense.

Sanctuary - Hikaru Utada

The song is from the opening sequence of the English version of Kingdom Hearts 2. The opening song in the original Japanese version is Passion - it's the same music, but with different lyrics.

Lyrics:
