I don't normal repost comments to the main page but here's an interesting one -- do readers agreed?
I must say the similarity is striking -- listen here:

Actually, O Canada is an obvious sponge-job of Mozart's "Marsch der Priester", from Die Zauberflöte, composed in 1791.But a bit of plagarism here and there shouldn't matter much, as imitation is the most sincere form of flattery..."

I'm not convinced. Only the first bar is identical, and there are only so many combinations of notes. Perhaps that opening was plagiarized, but surely not the whole melody, even by suggestion.
On the other hand, George Harrison was once successfully sued over "My Sweet Lord" by the authors of "I Feel Fine," so...I dunno.
If you want to be truly creeped out, however, check out the similarity between the chorus of "Enjoy Yourself (It's later than you think)" and...The Horst Wessell Song.
Dr Dawg -- yes, creepy!!!
Famous Classical composers used to steal from common music used and written by the so called common people all the time. When were plagiarism laws instituted in Canada? In The US President James Madison instituted plagiarism laws on August 18, 1787. While Britian did so in the late 1700's, they did not take into consideration any of their colonies of which Canada was until Trudeau.
Check this out, James:

Seems to me there may be a mini-research project here. Was it just a kind of recovered memory? "Enjoy Yourself" was written in 1949 by Herb Magidson and Carl Sigman, both native-born Americans.
