A bit of a song that makes me think of another song

[BroccoliSpears]

Was listening to Coldplay's Viva la vida and there's a "whoa-oh-ooh oh woah" bit that really really puts me in mind of another song but I can't think what I mean. I think the whole song reminds me of another song to be honest. It's the bit at 3.02 on that Youtube link.

Anyone?

Am currently listening and will report back

Wiki says there were plagiarism allegations about it. Is the song they mention what you're thinking of?

[maidamess]

He sounds like Sting when he sings that bit..is it a Police song?

[Lazarou]

reminds me of this a bit, but probably not what you're thinking

The whoah-oh bit reminds me of this awful 80s song which I'd successfully forgotten about until now.

Never heard of the song mentioned on Wiki.
Don't think it's a Police song.
Def not Queen.
ROFL @ Baltimora.

I think it might be an 80s song though.

Is it a Keane song?

[Lazarou]

this or any other cure stuff?
