* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: They had a hit with "Long Train Runnin' " in 1973. Two years later, Music/LedZeppelin released "Trampled Under Foot". While Zeppelin acknowledged Music/StevieWonder's "Superstition" and Music/RobertJohnson's "Terraplane Blues" as influences on the song, the first four bars of the verse have basically the same meter as the first four bars of the verse of "Long Train Runnin' ", followed by the line "Talkin' 'bout love", whereas the Doobie song's next line is "Without love". The two songs share chords as well.

The two songs share chords as well. In turn, "Long Train Runnin'" seems to have been an influence on Music/TheSmiths' instrumental "Oscillate Wildly".
