"Creep" actually (as in legally, and the band now pays royalties to the copyright holders) ripped off the chord sequence of The Hollies' "The Air That I Breathe." But the song itself is huge pastiche of Brel and Walker anyway, so ripoffs of it are just third-generation steals.

I have a feeling anyone other than Roger Waters getting a royalty check for absolutely anything pisses Roger Waters off immensely
