Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name

 

Bonnie Tyler - If You Were A Woman (And I Was a Man)

 

The melody of the chorus is nearly identical! :chicken::chicken::chicken::chicken::chicken::chicken::chicken::chicken::chicken::chicken::chicken:

And upon a little googling, it turns out both songs were released with months of difference in 1986 (Bonnie Tyler's in March, Bon Jovi's in July) AND both songs feature Desmond Child: as songwriter in Bonnie Tyler's case and as co-songwriter in Bon Jovi's case. So there we have the reason why. Mr. Desmond Child recycled a melody here and scored two major hits in the process :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Quote

After he had completed his work on Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire and the single had peaked, Child went to work with Bon Jovi a few months later. He co-wrote "You Give Love a Bad Name" with Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora using the same composition and made the song a hit. "I was sore at the record company for not pushing that song ["If You Were A Woman (And I Was a Man)"], and I said, "I'm going to prove that that song's a hit!" So we wrote it again."

 

And there's yet another recycling of that melody :rofl:
