If you combine Radiohead’s “Motion Picture Soundtrack” with the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Got A Feeling”, you get either copyright infringement or a pleasant coincidence. I’m just sayin…

The Cleverest Responses (9)

  1. Actually, it is not possible to copyright chord progressions, only melody lines and lyrics which is why the vocals sound so different in the latter half of the example.

    The Black Eyed Peas are entirely within their rights utilizing the same chord progressions, although it may seem a bit uncouth when you put them next to one another like that.

  2. you want coincidence/mashup?

    check out Manu Chao’s Mentira
    and UB40’s Tell Me Is It True.

    same chords, same tempo and exactly the same pitch!

  4. Might be the worst “mashup” I’ve heard all year.
    It’s not synced and the pitch is way off.
