It's not exactly the same, but twice this week The Kinks' "Susannah's Still Alive" came up on Pandora and I thought it was The Beatles' "Hey Bulldog".

There seem to be lots of songs by "Weird Al" Yankovic that sound the same at the beginning as others...

These two sound similar at various points throughout:

"Jeepster" by T-Rex
"Lay Down Sally" by Eric Clapton

Wussy "Funeral Dress"
Undertones "Teenage Kicks"


And the songs don't just sound the same at the beginning. The Wussy song is pretty much "Teenage Kicks" at 16 rpm all the way through.

No, see, there's that extra note in the Vanilla Ice song. They're completely different!
