I ALWAYS wondered the same thing! I just assumed it was intentional because it's just so blatantly similar...

Haha I'm glad I'm not alone in this. I vote we just jump to the conclusion that it was a rip-off and get the lynch mob started.

It was accidental. Dexter wrote the song, then people said it sounded similar to that beatles song so he listened to it and realised the similarities. Still a crap song though.

Are you serious? That's bizarre... how could you write a song so similar to a Beatles classic and not know...

Wow, he actually said that?

I mean, everything I've heard from Coldplay has been a crappy U2 or Radiohead ripoff, but I didn't think they'd ever actually admit it.

Fallout Boy.

They made their own album... then they went hippidy-hop to appeal to them twats, and then moved on to covering MJ, which was terrible, and now their trying some more indie(ish) ****.

It's ridiculous.
