I quite like The Verve's latest single "Love is Noise", but something has been bothering me about it for a while. Something in the song sounds really familiar, and for the life of me I couldn't quite put my finger on it. That was until this morning when I heard it on my way to work.

Listen to the first 10 seconds of the track...

Hear the "haaa-haa haa-haa"? Now listen to the first 30 seconds of this video (you can watch the whole thing if you want to find out more about the hadada)...

Is it just me, or do these two sound remarkably similar?

Have The Verve taken inspiration from one of the noisiest birds in South Africa - the hadada?
