Ooh, That Sounds Familiar : 9 : Star Wars "Imperial March" (1980) vs Mary Poppins "A Spoonful Of Sugar" (1964)

It's not very important, but it dawned on me - how much the menacing Star Wars "Imperial March" (1980) for iconic villain Darth Vadar sounds like the sickeningly sweet Mary Poppins classic "A Spoonful Of Sugar" (1969).

Maybe another to be filed under "Talent Borrows, Genius Steals (Shits Copy)".

Uncanny. Only so many notes and words to go around I suppose. **Update: I've been informed by "Old Man" Joe, that this is known as "parallel key modulation", he goes on (he does, but to explain this further he says "Most Depeche Mode songs use them liberally, luring the listener into a false sense of calm and wellbeing (major) then plunging them into a chasm of death and despair (minor)." There we go.
