V vs. V round 1

Let us take a look at two videos of similar directing and equally awesome rock sounds.
The first: Elastica's "Stutter" is enough to make a young man drop trou and give himself a mic check, and a teeny bopper trade in her spandex for flannel and all female game of spin the bottle.



Meanwhile, nearly fifteen years earlier, Manchester's own Buzzcocks were wining about relationship misgivings in their hit "What Do I Get". Though they probably only attracted isolated pockets of snagle toothed crooners, and more or less pissed off angry the punks of the day, the video is equally as tasteful.



In summation: Little more than four editing cuts, three vagina's, two genres, and one song theme separate these videos from being exactly identical! coincidence?
Yes.

Don't forget that Elastica got sued by Wire for ripping off the guitar riff from Three Girl Rhumba.

They lost that fight.

In that case I would have used hip-hop defense and pled "sampling".
The evidence is however mounting that Elastica are a buncha biters.

Wonder what how much of the royalties it took for Wire to allow this?:
