There are so many well documented rip-off songs that it wouldn't be hard to come up with a Top 100 rip-off chart.
But one song I had never previously thought of as a rip-off song was "Streets of London" by Ralph McTell.
I came across that one purely by coincidence while listening to the song "Samuel, oh how you've changed" on one of Al Stewart's early albums.
So I looked it up and Academic.com writes about "Streets of London" that:
"The melody resembles in some parts Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel from the year 1677, and main verses as well as the guitar arrangement and fingerstyle pattern were taken from that of 'Samuel, Oh How You've Changed!' recorded by Al Stewart in 1967 (from the album "Bed-Sitter Images")."
