Musical kin

Listening to the great Hank Williams t'other night and dang the first bars of Move It on Over sound identical to how the quiffed Bill Haley starts 'Rock Around the Clock'.

I have a bugbear about similarities: George Harrison's 'My Sweet Lord' and its out-n-out filch from 'So Fine', and of course that old phoney Jimmy Page nicking Bert Jansch's arrangement of 'Blackwaterside'.
