Yeah, that's just a little too close for comfort.
There's an obscure tune by The Animals from the mid 60's called "Cheating"....Tom "Petty-ized" it into the song we now know as "Breakdown". Just set off every "plagiarism" alarm in my head....just as this new "Pirate" tune of Petty's did when I heard it after clicking the link above.
(Sorry, I don't have a link to compare...the Animals tune isn't on any of the CD compilations that are in print. I have it on a 2 LP "anthology" that never made it to CD)
