The episode of Midnight Special that premiered yesterday featured Uriah Heep. The chorus of one tune they played (Stealin') sounded vaguely familiar.
It's basically the same chorus hook as Lick It Up, even sung on a neutral syllable. I haven't heard Lick It Up in ages, but the vocal harmony/arrangement may even be the same.
I'm not one to rant about acts "Stealin'." In no way do I think Kiss "Ripped off" Uriah Heep. But whether consciously or not, we all get our ideas from somewhere. Uriah Heep likely got the idea from someone else, too.
It's at 16:20:

It is somewhat similar, but I never put that together before and I am a big Heep fan and I like Lick It Up. I am sure the same sort of thing has been used in a ton of songs though. I can't imagine Paul was trying to steal from Heep.
