neeve272 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 :shocked:that's reallly freaky! it does sound like they're playing it backwards or something! yeah they're sooo alike...but I just listened to Relax backwards, and it's not quite it..it's actually more similar to normal Relax, but they definitely used the main tune or sth and like, I dunno, inverted it or SOMETHING!.....

Yeah I bet it's something like that!! It's definitely waaaay too Relax-inspired to be a coincidence, IMO. To listen to it backwards, I use Audacity....it's an audio software programme you can download for free, it's really cool - you can cut, mix, play backwards, make ringtones, everything!!

ruxi Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 what's wrong the people today? i mean... i know mika is fantastic and when you're a mikaholic you want to do everything the Mika-way.. but seriously...THAT TUNE IS STOLEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Sky Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Yeah, similar, but is Mika entirely original?? He never borrows riffs from anyone?? Hmm...Cutting Crew, Figaro...what else...?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxi Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Yeah, similar, but is Mika entirely original?? He never borrows riffs from anyone?? Hmm...Cutting Crew, Figaro...what else...?? figaro is out of copyright laws i think and well he just borrowed bits of the tune from Cutting Crew...after that the song has its own tune. :rollseyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeve272 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 omg!!!!!!!!! hmmffff ***phones copyright police*** "may I report an infraction , please...over and out" what did they say? figaro is out of copyright laws i think and well he just borrowed bits of the tune from Cutting Crew...after that the song has its own tune. :rollseyes: Yeah I have to agree....it's one thing to sample a tune or use it as the basis for a song (like he did with Figaro) BUT this is sheer copying IMO.... btw, I like the ":rollseyes:"...are you hoping it'll someday magically transform into a smiley? love it!! I fully support you in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
