Have you seen the commercial for Pokerstars.net that runs frequently on TSN and Sportsnet? The one featuring poker player Bertrand (Elky) Grospeliers, he of the dyed blond hair. There is a piece of music playing in the ad that sounds a lot, and I do mean almost exactly, like Arcade Fire's song Reflektor. It is not that song , but sounds so much alike that the Canadian band could sue if they did not give permission to the advertiser.
 
Yeah, but no. Vaguely barely sorta similar. Different key, different tempo, different instrumentation... any two random disco tunes would sound more alike than these two.
