I came across this text on a Bruce Springsteen related website. Thought you might enjoy some light reading.

"What most critics don't know, is that KISS' "Shandi," from what may have been their worst album (there are a lot of candidates for that title, sadly) 1980's Unmasked, was an accidental rip-off of a Springsteen song. Paul Stanley was a big fan of the British invasion bands, including The Hollies. He'd heard what he thought was a new song by them, called "Sandy," which was their cover of Bruce's "Sandy (4th of July, Asbury Park)," and sort of copied it, changing the name to the more hard rock sounding "Shandi."
