I know exactly what your talking about jkuervo. I play lots of classical and beat acoustic guitar music (Tommy Emmanuel, Andy Mckee, that sort of thing) and I will spend HOURS AND HOURS working out little ditties and riffs, then turning on my Mp3 and realising it was just some stupid flamin Mckee song that I heard a week ago!!! (Although that music is not stupid, it is just aggrovating).

The best you can do is either tweak it to a stage through different chord progressions, modes, solo's, what ever you can to make it a little more innovative then the original song you heard... Top yourself and see if you can put a creative shine to that metaphorical apple.
