OneRepublic CopyCat

February 27th, 2008

There’s something fishy goin’ on in them there waters of the music industry.

Peep this: new artist Bryan Hawn’s song for “More Than Enough.” It might sound a tad familiar… like OneRepublic’s “Apologize” perhaps?! [DUn Dun duuuuuuu]

Sure “Apologize” is now over-played, over-heard, and over-done, BUT to find its instrumentation in a brand new song reeks of laziness and plain ol’ stupidity.

Hey Bryan, changing up the melody a bit isn’t going to fool anyone. Not even silly and gullible ol’ me. So I think you should call up OneRepublic and - wait for it - APOLOGIZE! [Bah-hahahaha!]

Bryan Hawn - “More Than Enough”

OneRepublic - “Apologize”

UPDATE!

Someone actually made a video, combining BOTH of these songs! It’s so bizarre. It starts off sounding a bit like an absurd campfire round sing-along, but after the 2 minute mark it becomes apparent that - yup! - they’re the same song after all…

  5. maybe Timberland created the tune and is allowing both to use it. If you listen to Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake’s newest CD’s you will find that there are similiar beats for both and I believe Timberland was involved with both artists…not sure.?!?

  6. Holy snap, that third video sounds like one song!

    and actually, the mixed version seems better than each one individually. someone tell these folks to start a super-group.

  8. you guys are retarded. It’s called sampling. A common music industry term representing a piece of music using a similar track with a different melody line.

    A song consists of a melody line and a lyric. The arrangement is what’s similar. If I sing to you happy birthday, you can do what ever you want with the music behind it, and it’s still happy birthday. Therefore the arrangement should not be confused with the identity of a song.

    Plus this video is on MTV logo and VH1. I think if they had a problem with it, they wouldn’t play it. So quit being so ignorant and take a chill pill
