Plagiarism detector test piece
Just thought it might be fun for you to have a test piece to see how well plagiarism detectors worked
Oh! Putty, putty, putty!
What a pity, pity, pity!
Such a sad, sad, sad,
little ditty, ditty, ditty!
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! Up the City!
Up the Arsenal! Up the (pity I haven't got a rhyming dictionary!)
Cottleston cottleston cottleston pie!
Oh! Putty, putty, green and gloaming!
O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear! your true love's coming,
What's to come is still unsure,
Something something more manure!
Cottleston cottleston cottleston pie!
James James Morrison Morrison!
Haven't I heard this before?
Took great care of his mother
Before he was pinned to his bed
James James refused to take pills
'Cos he said that they stuffed up his head
Cottleston cottleston cottleston pie!
Please ask me, now, one that's on sport!
On winding roads
And steep inclines
Please watch the road
- Now that one's MINE!
Cottleston cottleston cottleston quack!
Gave his mother forty-two
Another feller joins the party!
Hello hello! Let's have some Archy!
The cockroach stood by the mickle
wood in the flush of the astral dawn
and he sniffed the air from the hidden
lair where the khyber swordfish spawn
and the bilge and belch of the social
services data department as they smelted
their warlock - PLEASE!
May I join you in the doghouse, Rover?
I think I'd rather live in Dover!
Maybe, there, I'd find a lover?
Or, possibly, just Water Plover?
Or maybe aunties, antediluvian?
I'd have to leave my bear Peruvian!
There aren't any psychiatrists here, are there?
In Greenwich town did Kubla Khan
a stately pleasure dome decree
where Thames the sacred river ran
And Peter, Peter, almond eater
Built a dome but couldn't keep her!
But oh that deep romantic chasm which slanted
down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
Honestly! This is about as romantic as the
approach to the Blackwall Tunnel in rush hour!
Cottleston cottleston cottleston pie!
Let's pray for some art, here!
If not, I'll soon die!
It is an ancient mariner!
And he rows as one of eight
By thy long white skirt and glittering wire!
You've cast a shadow on my sunless sea!
The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared,
We stood there in the mud
We paddled off
Through wave and trough
Towards the Barrier
(and I'm beginnging to wish for that rhyming dictionary again!)
Cottleston cottleston cottleston bat!
How I wonder where you spy!
You dirty, stinking, rotten Rat!
I wish that I had written that!
Oh! I did!
The rain set early in to-night
The sullen wind was soon awake
Is this an old one or a new one?
It tore the elm-tops down for spite
I posted this the other night!
My mind to me a kingdom is,
Bloody Hell! Psychiatrist!
Liar! Liar!
Oh quagmire!
The song of canaries
Never varies
And when they're losing
I'll cheer for Millwall instead!
Candy is dandy
But vicars are quicker
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
the ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won
Hello! We're back at Curlew again!
Cottleston cottleston
There once was a man who said, 'Damn!
It is borne in upon me I am
An engine that moves
In predestinate grooves
Which just shows how tricky it am!
Cottleston cottleston cottleston stop.

If nothing is new, who gets the copyright?
Wonder if there's a musical plagiarism detector?
