Doves "Valley" is a complete rip off of the Beach Boys song Bicycle Rider...

...but still love it and hasn't bothered me yet...

Beach Boys (This is "Do You Like Worms" off the SMiLe album which has a clip from the "Bicycle Rider" (about 40 seconds in) which was from a seperate, but unreleased project)
