Oasis copy Cliff Richard
Music fans have claimed Oasis has taken the sound of Cliff Richard.
Oasis inspired by Sir Cliff? Oasis have been accused of ripping of the sound a musical legend, it has been reported.

Music lovers have flooded internet forums claiming the Manchester band's new song, The Turing, is similar to Cliff Richard's 1976 hit Devil Woman, according to the Daily Mirror.

Janine Castle, from the International Cliff Richard Movement, said: "I'm astounded Oasis used Cliff as their muse - but delighted. It's about time Cliff's musical genius got some recognition."

However, some fans were less restrained in their criticism, the newspaper reveals.

Writing on Cliff's official site, one said the Oasis song is a "rip-off" and asked if the band will be remixing Christmas track Mistletoe and Wine next, while another posted on YouTube that the single is "embarrassing".

Cliff, real name Harry Rodger Webb, started his solo career in 1958 with the release of Move It, with him remaining active until the present day - carrying out world tours, recording a bible stories for a children's book and making a new album last year.ADNFCR-1856-ID-18813314-ADNFCR
