“We Are Young” by fun. has been driving me and a lot of people crazy. I’m still not able to put my finger on it but I am offering up these bits. Let me know if you have any others. I’m dying to know. Am I nuts?
fun. - "We Are Young (Chorus)" (2011)
Thompson Twins - "Hold Me Now" (1983)
Erasure - "A Little Respect" (1988)
This part is so similar to a Queen song. Bohemian Rhapsody? Is it a different song?? Let’s get to the bottom of this!
fun. - "We Are Young (Pre-Chorus)" (2011)
Queen - "Bohemian Rhapsody" (1975)
Tell me what you think in the comments
UPDATE 7/26/2012: I added a post for Paul Simon “Cecilia” (1970) vs fun. “Some Nights” since there have been few comments and submissions for it.
so…girls just wanna have FUN eh….yeah that was a terrible attempt at humor.
Maybe fun. just wants to have girls.
HA!
I swear the chorus line of this song sounds similar to another song that I’ve heard before.. its not up in the comparisons above, but dammit.. the song keeps from entering my small brain.. but I swear I have heard this chorus before…
To me, it sounds SO much like Slade’s “Run Run Away”
Hi guys!!
Lots of people is still wondering about which song sounds like “we are young” and everyone has its own version, so here its mine (I never read it before and I might sound crazy):
celine dion – the power of love
If you slow a lot down “we are young” you can sing the chorus on dion’s song.
And now it’s almost natural for me to sing
“Cause I’m Your Ladyy and You are my maaaaaaan …. and we set the world on fireeee we can be brighter than the suuuuuuuuun” 😀 😀
I wish someone will make a mash-up, I’d love it 🙂
I think the lead singer sounds like Tracy Chapman.
