Lady Gaga: Should we make this chorus sound just like that Whitney Houston Dance With Somebody song?
I’m gonna be his first and last kiss,
‘Cause baby I was born to be his
Fernando Garibay: Of course Lady Gaga! You mean this song?
Ohhhhhh I wanna dance with somebody,
I wanna feel the heat with somebody!
Lady Gaga: Yeah, that’s it!

The chorus of Jermaine Jackson‘s “When the Rain Begins to Fall” is strangely familiar to Britney Spears‘ 2011 track “Hold it Against Me”. When I first heard this track I also thought about Survivor’s “Can’t Hold Back” (1984) [who appear previously on ThatSongSoundsLike] and Cutting Crew‘s 1986 hit “(I Just) Died in Your Arms”. It won’t be much of a surprise that this Spears track was produced by none other than Dr. Luke who has made numerous appearances on this site.
Thanks to Lennart for submitting the Jermaine Jacksons track
X Factor superstar Leona Lewis is being taken to court by Swedish Ministry of Sound DJ Avicii (Tim Bergling) for supposedly using his track “Fade Into Darkness” (aka “Penguin”) without permission in her latest single “Collide”.
According to the UK paper The Sun, Ministry of Sound Records is claiming that Lewis is blatantly ripping off the song with ‘Collide.’ The label’s operators have asked that execs at Simon Cowell‘s Syco, to which Lewis is signed, to yank the track from radio. They want to ban the song from being officially released, as well.
– PopCrush.comThe Guardian reported today that the High Court will hear a plea from the dance producer on Monday for an injunction against the release of the X Factor winner’s song, which is due out on September 4.
