Ashe October 5, 2011 at 1:45 pm @Marcos Really? I noticed straight away. The fireworks song is a sped up version. Probably a coincidence of course but one says ‘Light’ and the other says ‘Night. So even the rhymes similar. Reply ↓
Cory November 3, 2011 at 9:05 pm I don’t see the similarity, it’s called a sequence. Neither are really melodies, just a basic musical sequence. Reply ↓

fhn July 6, 2012 at 12:33 am Doubt it’s coincidence. Robot Unicorn Attack is one of the most popular things on the net. A melody from Erasure “Always” got nicked for the pre-chorus of “Firework”–the line with “there will be no shame”. Not knocking her BTW. Whoever wrote “Firework” smartly appropriated a popular cult earworm and married it to a big pop star hook. Reply ↓
