Wasn’t there a song written years ago that had the same melody as RBFY? I forget which OG song that was….pretty sure it was written years prior to us hearing RBFY tho 

Found it, I’m SHOOK once again

i wouldn’t consider it ripping off at all because Phoebe definitely put her own twist on it, but I think a lot about how clearly inspired she was by the Twin Peaks theme for Smoke Signals

These are not rip-offs, I believe Kurt Cobain asked for permission from Los Brujos to use the main riff and Arctics were simply paying homage to Nirvana. Still, pretty interesting how it all unfolded.

I have no idea, maybe because "no one" listened to k-pop back then - I recall that you were a weirdo for listening to j- or k-pop back then, this was before PSY broke the internet with Gangnam Style. So maybe she or her producers simply thought it was a simple thing to steal and no one would find out... and maybe they picked the wrong song, because the original broke so many records in South Korea.
I remember that there were no credits to the original producer or k-pop band, and the copy-cat didn't mention that she did a "cover" until fans started to question her about the song lol. I think the video I posted got the "video cover" in the title much later, I don't recall seeing it there before.

Oh well. I guess we'll never know the truth but it was fun.

if he did ask for permission i 100% guarantee it was because of the Incident

Sorry, I was confused.

HYGTG rips off Your Love Is My Drug, not Tik Tok. Listen to YLIMG then HYGTG and you will notice the similarities.

the selective hearing from a floyd stan doesn't surprise me. don't get me wrong, i love floyd and have been a huge fan since i was in high school (my stoner days) but it really disappointed me, hearing something that came out 3 years before dark side of the moon and hearing that the melody was ripped off. it's the exact same song. i'm not saying it's the wah wah pedal or synths, literally listen to the song and sing the floyd lyrics over it, it's not that hard.

 

if you still can't hear it you need one of these

oh wait i think ive heard of that but i never heard that either. i think it was the bridge of YLIMG to the chorus of HYGTG, but its not close enough to be considered a rip off

aldo YLIMD's bridge is my fav bridge of all time, and hearing HYGTG's chorus is one of the worst of Taylor's discography - released and unreleased
