Is 'Seven Nation Army' the song that makes me keep thinking I'm about to hear a Kraftwerk song on commercial radio?

Aha! It's Coldplay's "Talk".

According to The Kraftwerk Influence: Samples, it "uses the main melody from Computer Love. Apparently they wrote a personal letter to Ralf and Florian to request permission and got it."

Kraftwerk's "Computer Love":

Coldplay's "Talk":

Most humble apologies for confusing Coldplay and the White Stripes, to fans of either.

And to think, it's only three years after Coldplay released the album with "Talk" on it...
