I totally didn't realize that until you mentioned it (boys of summer). I always thought that the music of Next Level was reminiscent of something but I couldn't quite remember. Now though, when i think of Boys of Summer, it is indeed very similar music wise and then the vocal melodies are rehashes of at times Blue Bird and at others Beautiful Fighters.

For the record though, Boys of Summer is Don Henley, not Brian Adams.
