    DUDE I was just thinking of that. I had never heard Mandy until I watched this episode of the simpsons, so I youtubed it and I spent the last 20 minutes trying to figure out what it sounded like. THANK YOU for stopping my anguish!

    And also, yes they are totally the same song

    Without question, these two are quite similar. Whether it’s intentional is unknown.

    They aren’t the same at all, they don’t even have the same amount of syllables or even in the same key. They both start with oooohh and last about the same amount of time apart from that nothing.

    In case you didn’t know, “Mandy” is itself a cover of “Brandy” (1971) by Scott English, with the name changed to avoid confusion with the Looking Glass song “Brandy”.
