I think this is the laziest artwork for this site I’ve ever posted.

Allow me to introduce to you my new favorite podcast One Song where hosts Diallo Riddle and LUXXURY dissect a single song and sometimes take me back to my own early days in music. I was recently listening to one of their podcasts when LUXXURY pulled up these …. interpolations I suppose. I’ve always wondered what that line in “Mr. Brightside” reminded me of and never put together the Blondie similarity in my head.  The Placebo one is pretty interesting as well. Enjoy!

The Killers – “Mr. Brightside” (2003)

Placebo – “Special K” (2002)

Blondie – “Dreaming” (1979)

Here’s a clip of LUXXURY breaking it down on One Song
