Famous Musicians Who Allegedly Stole Their Number One Hits

The Flaming Lips

The Flaming Lips might not be a number one hit generator but the band certainly has a following. Their 2002 song "Fight Test" became a surprise big hit and skyrocketed the already popular band to extreme stardom. However, it propelled another star into fame many years prior. The song has been likened to the 1970 song "Father and Son" by Cat Stevens.
