Quick poll. It's important. Very.

[Poll #658857]


Cause sometimes, I swear I'm the only one who noticed this. And it's been driving me nuts since I first heard the Jet song like 2 years ago. Hacks. And I don't even really like Iggy Pop or anything.

What about the Killer's Mr. Brightside? Doesn't it sound like Bowie's Queen Bitch?

[zebeckras.livejournal.com]

Heyyyy, I never noticed that (maybe b/c I didn't know Queen Bitch that well until recently) but you're kind of right. O_o

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I've never heard that one.

They used to talk about this on the radio a lot when the song first came out. It is a little similar (but dude, Lust for Life has way cooler drums), but I wouldn't quite accuse Jet of Vanilla Ice-dom XD.

I never heard any discussion about it, which I considered weird when compared how often I heard about the two Nickelback songs blended together played and discussed on the radio.

[zebeckras.livejournal.com]

Definitely not the only one. It drives me nuts. Not only that, but ALL their songs sound like other songs. One sounds like the Beatles and two sound like AC/DC. :P

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Glad I've only heard the one, then.

[spicedrum.livejournal.com]

No. I noticed that right off. TOTAL RIPOFF.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear it.

[pepperlandgirl4.livejournal.com]

I noticed that right away too. I'm surprised they haven't been ordered to pay royalties to Iggy Pop...

He'd probably have a case. Remember how the Stones absolutely murdered The Verve in court because they had a small riff from one of the Stones' songs?

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I never heard about that court case. Which Verve song?

[pepperlandgirl4.livejournal.com]

Bittersweet Symphony

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Ah! I do remember something about them not making any money off the song, but I thought it was about a bad record contract or something. Huh.

That's my walking song.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Heh. You put "yes" in the poll instead of "no". I guess I made the question confusing..

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

Someone asked this question a year or so ago, and I'd never heard the song until then. But, yes, it very much does.
