A classic rock song from the 1990s sounds a lot like Ringo Starr’s “Back Off Boogaloo.” The two tracks have melodically identical choruses. Despite this, a member of the 1990s band didn’t connect the track to “Back Off Boogaloo” at all.
The chorus of Warrant’s ‘Cherry Pie’ sounds a lot like Ringo Starr’s ‘Back Off Boogaloo’
Part of the reason why “Back Off Boogaloo” is one of Ringo’s most famous singles is its infectious, stomping chorus. You don’t need to understand the song or hear it more than once to get that melody stuck in your head for hours.

She’s been holed up in her home studio all afternoon with producer Andrew Watt. Her new album, Plastic Hearts, has long been done, but the pair still have more tricks up their sleeves, like a cover of Metallica’s 1992 single “Nothing Else Matters” for an upcoming compilation. Cyrus has been belting the chorus for the past hour, in a growl that...
