Creaky Boards said Coldplay swiped "Songs I Didn't Write," then took it back. Let's listen to the evidence, shall we?

A weekly playlist for the listener with a one-track mind.
50 Cent: "50 for President" In which the rapper announces his intention to run for president on a platform advocating drug trafficking as a deficit-reduction tool and the violent dispatch of his enemies. Probably, none of the actual candidates should try this.
Ron Artest featuring Coldplay: "Lost" Inappropriate Use of Coldplay, Part One: NBA forward and part-time hip-hop artist Artest layers a restrained, barely-there rap over a recent Coldplay track. If we were a ref, we'd call a technical foul for excessive mellowness.
Creaky Boards: "The Songs I Didn't Write" Inappropriate Use of Coldplay, Part Two: This past June, Creaky Boards frontman Andrew Hoepfner accused Coldplay of using a plagiarized version of this song as the basis of their "Viva La Vida" title track. Hoepfner now claims the allegation was all just an unfunny joke by the Brooklyn band, but the inadvertent similarities are still pretty impressive.
The Fireman: "Nothing Too Much, Just Out of Sight" You might think that if Paul McCartney had a side project with Youth (an ex-member of Killing Joke), and that side project was to release a song about Heather Mills (you could tell the song was about Mills because it was loud, and featured lots of yelling), that such a song might be pretty good. You would be wrong, though.
Jubilee: "I Don't Have an Excuse, I Just Need a Little Help" Los Angeles-based almost-supergroup Jubilee contains sometime members of Queens of the Stone Age and the Icarus Line, but wait! There's more: The group's new track features appearances by Trent Reznor, Maynard from Tool and a member of the Liars. Despite the presence of such circa '95-'00 metal/alt/techno heavyweights, it actually sounds more like an unearthed relic from NIN's long-forgotten Sunset Strip Hair Band Years.
