Another one from our friend Dr. Luke. This time we’re listening to Katy Perry‘s “E.T.” (2010) and Russian duo t.A.T.u.‘s breakout hit “All The Things She Said” (2000).
Even Matthew Cole of Slant magazine writes:
…and on the inscrutable “E.T.” Perry compares her lover (favorably?) to a space alien and Dr. Luke nabs the backing track from t.A.T.u.’s “All the Things She Said,” presumably as a tribute to his forbears in the field of exploitative dance-floor schlock.

wow seems everyone wants to rip off tatu…
good charlotte “victims of love” and tatu “not gonna get us”
pretty blatant
Another really great one Travis. Thanks!
And the chorus of GC’s Festival Song (2000) sounds like that of Forgotten Years by Midnight Oil (1990), but admittedly both are based on two notes.
This review of Good Morning Revival (2007) by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, which can be found on Allmusic.com and iTunes, states: There’s the Blur/Gorillaz-aping “Keep Your Hands Off My Girl” — its chanting verse borrowed from “We Got a Line on You,” the hook from “Song 2”. Additional names don’t seem to be included, unless there are notes on samples in the album booklet.
I’ll be damned … I never even noticed the damn resemblance.
taTu 4ever! 🙂
… also TRAVIS, you are 101% right !!1 Thieves! i h8 GC
I hope you hated them before, because while you mightn’t like them personally, music goes beyond that.
in the description you have katys track as “2010” but on the player you have it as “2011”
I loved that T.a.T.u.’s song when I was a kid, but I never knew the name until now, thanks for sharing!
You got it! And the video was so….. controversial 😛

I actually made a mix because I realized these two sound alike!
Awesome!
Also, the bridge and chorus of “E.T.” were stolen by ASTR in their song “Bleeding Love” (not to be confused with Leona Lewis’s song of the same name).
