Ever heard "Stereo Love"? No? Ok, ever heard this?
I thought so. That IS stereo love. The title isn't a lyric, making it confusing. Now...have you heard this?
Did ya ever think they sound alike? And yes, Stereo Love came first. Listen to the beginning of each song again. Hear it? That's what inspired this blog. Stereo Love vs. On The Floor. After noticing that they sounded alike, I started to listen for musical plagiarism. And what I heard amazed me. The amount of stolen music is AMAZING. This blog is here to bring attention to it. Every week, I'll feature a combo of songs. Thief and victim. Shlemiel & Shlemazel, if you will. I'll date both songs, and tell if that steal (or "sample", as the music industry calls it) is credited/compensated. I'm not here, however, to villanize musicians. I am a pop culture geek and love modern music. Not as much as I love 80's music, but that's another post. I'm simply here to show that not all music is as original as it's artists would have us think, and hopefully give the ORIGINAL makers of the songs-generally unknown, foreign musicians-some much needed credit. But First, I'm going to expound on the Stereo Love vs. On The Floor. Next post.
