I don't mean the Jimmy Hendrix job. The one by "Rogue Traders" (cries, its so bad).

My question is, where have they stolen that;

"doo doo do-do-do doo doo do-do-do"

"riff" from!?

I'm sure they've pinched that from someone somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it and its really bugging me

Elvis Costello - Pump it up!

Ha! of course

Bill101 · 13 Jul 2006 at 16:38

it sounds like an Elvis Costello rip off (sorry sample) ''Pump it up'' anyone?

I love that classic Costello cheese. Thanks, that was getting on me boobs.

Stuff like this is beginning to annoy me now. I'm sure they have permission to sample it, but it just negates creativity IMO. They're making money and popularity off something that somebody has already done.

For example, "T.I - Why you wanna" has the chorus taken from a part of that "Janet Jackson - Got Till it's gone" song.

Pretty much the whole song isn't original, but people say it's great and he's really talented. :rolleyes:

it took me a while to find it (it's on you tube) then I watched it all the way through to see if it got any better (some nakedness would have helped

)

Is that not a sample/cover from Counting Crows?

Im not sure if it is, was asking.

it's just a different kind of creativity. all music's derivative to a certain extent. some people can create from scratch, some people's talent lies in mixing/post production to create something new from something old. if you don't like it, don't let it annoy you. personally, i hate this sort of music too, but if someone likes it then it's worthwhile.

The song yeah, not the "why u wanna do that, and do that" line though.

I reckon there's only about 7 songs that were ever created, and over time they've just been sampled and remixed.

That's Izzy from Neighbours, in case you didn't know. I think it's an ok track.
