    Default Which two 80s tunes does this recent song borrow from?

    Hey,

    I'm currently racking my brains, but I can't remember the second song where this 2007 Girls Aloud tune borrows from (harmonically, that is)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBUV-6wZ6Kg

    First is Wham! - Everything She Wants, with no doubt:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AbZptTyrHY

    But there must be some other one that uses this sort of harmonic combination, especially---that'll be one for the musicians only---this quite interesting 3-part combination of
    ... I (sus 4) -> I (#9) -> I (7)

    at the end of the musical section, e. g. D(sus4) -> D7 #9 -> D7 in a D key; first is long, the other ones change in quite a short sequence.

    Thanks! Key doesn't matter, it's the chord transition that matters.

    Well yes I kinda knew that

    Is this solved now or are you thinking of something else?

    Well, rather ... patiently waiting for some more suggestions to come up...

    (Since there is probably not "THAT ONE" answer).

    The intro to the Girls Aloud reminds me of the raggae song "Buffalo Soldiers" but the rest of the song did not ring any bells.

    I have heard the Wham! song so many times that any potential "origins" have been wiped from my little grey cells.
    Them that can, do; them that can't... memorize Artist and Title

    I think the OP was saying that the Girls Aloud song borrows from the Wham! song.
