This list of ALW's self-plagiarism and borrowings from elsewhere is a combination of my own observations plus those of someone else, so there may be slight mistakes/overlaps.ġ) Love is Here (Like of us) TRAVEL HOPEFULLY from JEEVES / BY JEEVESĢ) The Likes of Us (Likes of Us) VARIATION 18 from VARIATIONS / DANCEģ) You Won't Care About her Anymore (Likes of Us) I DON'T THINK I'M WANTED BACK AT HOME (Jacob's Journey) / NEVER AGAIN (By Jeeves)Ĥ) Down Thru' Summer (Single) became the coda in BUENOS AIRESĥ) 1969 (Single) used themes from Beethoven's F‹R ELISE and Dvorak's New World SymphonyĦ) Probably on Thursday (Single) the instrumental solo became the last lines in JOSEPH: 'Give me my colour coat.'ħ) Kansas Morning (Single) Same opening line as Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto (First Movement) and melody recycled as I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM from JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTARĪny Dream Will Do (JOSEPH) originally 'I FANCY YOU', a song which TR and ALW wanted to record with Herman's Hermitsĩ) Eurovision Song (Eurovision) became SALADIN DAYS in 'Come Back Richard', an ALW and TR show performed only once, and again musically recycled for KING HEROD'S SONGġ0) The First Book of Samuel - this show doesn't last a minute, and the melody became SUPERSTARġ1) Summer Dream - a low point in the original JEEVES. #21 Andrew Lloyd Webber Recycles Posted: 7/19/12 at 4:15am Many of the examples given here, particularly the pop ones, are on the bonus fifth disc of his Now and Forever box set, for example. To give ALW a tiny bit of credit, as mentioned, he doesn't really hide the fact he recycles his own work (it's a different argument about appropriating other people's work though ). Which, to be fair, I think has been dropped from the updated Song and Dance/Tell Me On a Sunday but I can never keep track of all the variations of that show. But the melody is cribbed almost exactly from a Song and Dance song, English Girls.

Some examples still surprise me though-like Tire Tracks and Broken Dreams from Whistle sounds SO much like it was influenced by Jim Steinman, I was sure Steinman maybe even helped out with it (of course when Steinman produces Bonnie Tyler singing it, it sounds even more like his work). I dunno, this used to really bother me when I was a more pretentious teenager, and now it doesn't so much again. While Beautiful Game was a flop, Our Kinda Love was a modest pop hit in the UK, which is why I was a bit surprised he put it back in Phantom 2 so quickly afterwards. #14 Andrew Lloyd Webber Recycles Posted: 7/18/12 at 11:49pm
