I'm ever so sorry for the non-existant Musical Friday. I just get so caught up in living my wonderful life I simply don't have the time. OK, ok I forgot. So I thought we'd do it a little different. I'm always suffering De Ja Vu when it comes to mainstream music. The same hooks, melodies, backing tracks over and over again like a musical Groundhog Day really get my goat. Here's a few recent examples of blatant copying. Or at least milking the 'artistic liscence' idea for all it's worth.
The choruses are exactly the same...
Lily Allen - Who'd Have Known?
Take That - Shine
Again, pretty similar chorus. It sounds like the same backing track...
Pixie Lott - Boys and Girls
Rhianna - Shut Up and Drive
Apparently she's getting sueud for ripping off Kelis. They are very similar. You can sing Chezza's song over Kelis's and it's the perfect fit.
Chreyl Cole - Fight For this Love (Embedding disabled by bloody request.)

Kelis - L'il Star
These two songs have identical time frames, and sound exactly the same when it comes to the bridge. Go to 2.30 on Black Eyed Peas and around 2.06 on the Sugababes. You can say 'Let the Beat rroooccckk' in that wierd, retarded way over the song and wouldn't even notice it's the Sugababes. Sounds like a good idea to me!
Sugababes - Get Sexy
Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow
