In "Royals", there is one part that stood out to me the first time I heard it. I immediately recalled the 8th track ("Home") from Dream Theater's "Metropolis Pt.2 - Scenes from a Memory" album. The similar sections are: In "Royals" - the hook after both verses (e.g. "gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom") and in "Home", the 1st verse ("Shine...lake of fire. Lines...take me higher"). Both sections are in D maj and the bpm is about the same. While the melodic line is different, the harmony is the same. There is also an absence of ringing instrumentals in both songs (only a chopping guitar riff in the Dream Theater song) so it feels similar too. [Home (2:38) and Royals (:33) -- ed. furtherlane]

London's folk rock band Treetop Flyers derives its name from a U.S. helicopter platoon known for flying low-altitude missions during the Vietnam War (and not from Stephen Stills' track Treetop Flyer). The band's affinity for things old and American also extends to its May 2011 single Things Will Change, which borrows heavily from the U.S. folk rockers America and their 1972 hit Ventura Highway (e.g. G maj7 to D maj7 chord progression, vocal harmonies). Check it out.
