It's the Same Old Song

"It's the Same Old Song" is very similar in melody and chord progressions to "I Can't Help Myself,” which in turn is even more similar in melody and chord progressions to "Where Did Our Love Go" by the Supremes, who covered "It's the Same Old Song," in 1967. Critic Maury Dean disputes that there is much in common with "I Can't Help Myself," saying that it is "a dynamic NEW treatment, with just a hint of Benny Benjamin's thundering drums echoing" "I Can't Help Myself.” [6]

Spelling

Maybe some people know this already, but spelling tends to confuse me...

The words "dying", "dyeing", and "dieing" are all separate words.  The second refers to coloring something with a dye.  The third refers to cutting metal with a die.
