Deux Guitares

What's common to this movie song and Charles Aznavour's Deux Guitares? Some chance resemblance or more than that? I mean, can one suspect plagiarising Deux Guitares in this movie song? --Breastplatter (talk) 15:44, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

There is no objective measure for determining when a perceived similarity between two songs becomes more than the inevitable occasional chance resemblance; see e.g. Gray v. Perry. One is free to harbour suspicions, though.  --Lambiam 22:25, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
