Not sure you can level at the Happy Mondays that it was a rip off. It was listed as a cover version.
Obscure songs ripped off by more famous artists

But most of these are just cover versions where the original artist/composer probably gets credited and therefore gets royalties. Lot of people not getting this thread.

This Flaming Lips song pretty much borrows itself from Cat Stevens Father and Son

This video shows exactly where ripping off and covering are different. Tom Petty got a co-writing credit bit said "No Hard Feelings These Things Happen "

A great song and I still prefer the original by The Sutherland Brothers just before they joined up with Quiver

You Light Up My Life - Debbie Boone. Not that she was well known - she had a famous dad Pat Boone. The original version was by a lady called Kasey Cisyk ( no me neither) Beautiful song very melodic and laid back
