UPDATE: Katy Perry vs. Kesha vs. Miley Cyrus vs. Justice

I think we need to create a new genre of music called “lazy-girl-rap-dance”.

Jonathan and Kelly pointed out this Justice track a few months back and now that this Miley Cyrus track was brought to my attention I give you the following:

Justice - "The Party" (2009)

With the beat:
Justice - "The Party" (2009)

Ke$ha - "Tik Tok" (2009)

Miley Cyrus - "Permanent December" (2010)

Ke$ha - "Tik Tok" (2009)

Katy Perry - "California Gurls" (2010)

This is an update to Katy Perry vs. Kesha

Update: Dinosaur Jr. vs. Stereophonics vs. Brendan Benson

This is an update to Dinosaur Jr. vs. Stereophonics
casi comments:

these riffs, especially the Dinosaur Jr riff, are also very similar to a guitar line that came up a few years later in a song off of Brendan Benson’s 2005 release “Spit It Out Now”. it sounds very similar to the opening riff and also at 1:59 into the song. A homage to one of the preeminent indie bands of the 90s maybe??>

Update: Weezer vs. Metallica vs. Midnight Oil vs. The Strokes vs. Peter Gunn

midnight-oil

I had a few comments on the Weezer vs.  Midnight Oil post relating to the guitar riffage. Here are a few more. They’re all really just along the lines of the Peter Gunn theme by Henry Mancini. Some of you might also recognize this as the theme song to the 1983 arcade game Spy Hunter.  Weezer‘s “Hash Pipe” is much closer to Metallica‘s “For Whom The Bell Tolls”

Weezer - "Hash Pipe" (2001)

Metallica - "For Whom The Bell Tolls" (1985)

The Strokes - "Juicebox" (2005)

Henry Mancini & His Orchestra - "Peter Gunn" (1958)

Midnight Oil - "Beds Are Burning" (1987)
