    songs that ripped off other songs

    post them.

    this janet jackson song was a big hit on the pop charts and continues to get heavy airplay. the song is using america's music throughout it. i wonder if she had the permission to use it or paid for it.

    I have no many that piss me off.



    Clapton ripped this song off 1 year after it was released. Marley's album got to #151 on the billboard charts. Clapton hit #1. Such a douche move.



    The Snoop version of this is good, but Slick Rick is one of my all time favorites. There's nothing electronic in this song- just beatboxing and rapping.

    I only like the ODB version of Fantasy. Ol Dirty and Mariah Carey grew up in the same building and went to elementary school together. They remained friends throughout ODB's life.

    never saw that video before with ODB.

    although, not quite sure WHY they felt the need to make that, but OK.

    Really??? He is, or are you just kissing up to Marvin?

    Why include love roller coaster?
    I loved that song growing up, did someone rip it off?

    You people are confusing rip offs with samples/homages. For instance Set Adrift used the music of True and made a new song out of it. Much different from a rip off. Even the term ripoff is questionable to me as there is very little in pop music that is truly original. I mean how many variations of the Bo Diddley beat or Buddy Holly riffs have we heard over the years, does that make them all ripoffs?

    I dont know why this pissed me off so much, but Pretty Lights sampled the "OHH..Ohhh...Sometimes....I get a good feeling" part several years ago, and then Flo Rida comes along and grabs the sample and gets famous for shitty lyrics and stolen hooks.










    Now, TV commercials STILL overplay the shit out of it to the point where I dont even want to hear Pretty Lights' version anymore
