006 Cupid (Sam Cooke song)

As of November 17, 2018, the entry for the song "Cupid" by the great Sam Cooke does not mention that Bon Jovi's 2005 song "Who Says You Can't Go Home" kinda stole the melody to the chorus. But it would seem the similarity has been noticed before. And the parallels are pretty obvious once you start to notice them. There's the shared trochaic opening, on the same two notes: (Cúpid/Whó says). And a similar end to the line. Ho-o-ome. Bo-o-ow. Still a catchy song, Bon Jovi. I like it a lot. But I might mostly just like it because I like Sam Cooke a lot.
