When I heard Lady Gaga‘s “Paparazzi” I couldn’t quite figure out what the chorus was reminding me of. It just came to me today – “Take My Breath Away” by Berlin. This is the main love song featured in the 1986 Tom Cruise film Top Gun. Not as dramatic as I thought when I eventually checked it out, but thought I would post it anyway.

Yeah, it was bugging me too for a while until I too thought of “Take My Breath Away”, (then I googled the two bringing me here!)
I kept hearing part of Paparazzi as used in an advertisement on the USA channel for an upcoming dog show, ( Westminster Kennel Club I think? – cute ad)
But your right, it’s just bits and pieces…
Hard to believe that Top Gun is almost 25 years old huh? The F14 Tomcats they flew are in mothballs.
I see rumors just about everywhere, that absolutely nothing in Drag queen Gaga is original and that she is really a copycat 🙁 I still adore Lady Gaga coZ she is awesome!
Haha…there are really some similarities… I really enjoyed playing the two music at the same time… good post!
The voice is a strong similarity too
wow, great. sounds like the same chords, just sped up. rob fusari produced this one. blame him?
they sound slightly similar, but it’s a really common melody. pretty much every song has similarities to a different song that was released before it
You have your year wrong. Paparazzi was released in 2008 on “The Fame” album.
Thanks Aaron, you’re correct. I based that year on the release of the single. I’ll correct it now.
That’s funny because the first time I actually heard the Paparazzi song by Lady Gagag I wasn’t paying much attention and thought it was Take my Breat Away, and then I realised it was a totaly new song… So, I got that impression the very first time.
I’m glad I’m not alone ! ^^
Modest Mouse – Float On 😉
So similar!
