Start with minor chord, move up a fourth.
Start with a C minor. Play that for four bars. Move to F minor. Play that for four bars. John and Im not a Star is the same movement

Each of the tunes you mention do indeed use the same progression although in different keys. There are also some variations within the different songs that make the progressions use novel in each instance.
This uses the progression Ebmin/Bb - Cb major (D#min/A# - B major)
The first chord appears to be the home chord or chord i. So the progression is best described as i/5 - bVI
[mp3]http://www.bandcoach.org/fp/audio/jlex-01.mp3[/mp3]
This uses the progression Dmin - Bb major and sometimes Dmin/A - Bb major
The first chord appears to be the home chord or chord i. So the progression is best described as i - bVI and i/5 - bVI
Version 1

Version 2
[mp3]http://www.bandcoach.org/fp/audio/jlex-03.mp3[/mp3]
This uses the progression Cmin - Ab major/C and Cmin/G - Ab major. the progression then modulates (changes key center) to Dmin - Bb major/D and sometimes Dmin/A - Bb major
In both keys, the first chord appears to be the home chord or chord i. So the progression is best described as i - bVI/1 and i/5 - bVI
The key difference is the rhythm used:
The chord i is played for the first 3 beats and chord bVI is played on the last two 8th notes with an accent.
Version 1

Version 2
[mp3]http://www.bandcoach.org/fp/audio/jlex-05.mp3[/mp3]
Lastly here are all three progressions put into the same key
[mp3]http://www.bandcoach.org/fp/audio/jlex-06.mp3[/mp3]
In each of the 12 keys, the progression would be
Dmin/A - Bb
Emin/B - C
Fmin/C - Db
Gmin/D - Eb
Amin/E - F
Bmin/F# - G
Cmin/G - Ab
C#min/G# - A
Ebmin/Bb - B
F#min/C# - D
G#min/D# - E
Bbmin/F - Gb

Oh, and if you substitute the relative minor for the second chord then it would be a fourth away, e.g.
Cminor-AbMajor (iii-I or i-bVI)
CEbG - AbCEb
becomes
Cminor-Fminor (iii-vi or i-iv)
CEbG - FAbC
But I still believe that it is CMinor - AbMajor because of what the bass is doing

It's been over since 1986 with my father's death and 1993 with my mothers death - she died the same day Frank Zappa did. So you ain't either of my parents - I do not appreciate this stupidity one bit - when it comes to my parents I have no sense of humour - stop being a clown and actually contribute something worthwhile
