Stolen Song Beat? (great songs, member, quote, band, songs)

Kiodos · 09-06-2008, 04:36 PM

My friend showed me a song name:

Shut Up and Let Me Go- The Ting Tings

And after hearing it a couple times I remember hearing that beat that they play the entire time in the back ground. So today I hear it again and instantly remember what Song/Band it sounded like...

Take Me Out- Franz Ferdinand

Listen to the whole song and you'll realize what I mean.

I'm afraid I shall give this a miss as listening to an entire song by the Ting Tings would probably make me go out & hurt somebody.

As if no band has ever ripped off another before...

I'm not saying that no band hasn't. Just bringing it to light.

For what reason? Seriously. I don't understand the need to make a thread about two similar sounding songs when there are threads aplenty on here crying out for new posts.

Franz Ferdinand suck anyways so who would argue whether they stole a beat or not?

I don't think the beat is stolen, I think they're just similar, or maybe they "payed homage". I don't think it was stolen, though; Shut Up And Let Me Go doesn't have that little guitar sounding thing that Take Me On does. I think.

Anyone noticed Jack Johnsons Cookie Jar song is VERY similar to Bob Dylans Who Killed Davey Moore - both in musical style / melody AND song message?

Both great songs though.
