Bruno Mars vs. Breakbot vs. Snoop Dogg vs. George Duke

Posted on by — 7 Comments ↓

Breakbot had something to say to Bruno Mars about the similarity of Mars’ “Treasure” and “Baby I’m Yours”:
@BrunoMars ! seriously ? Haha great now i've got all the bruno fans mad at me ! this is serious, they might throw their hats at me.

There are definitely similarities in the chorus as well as the verse:

Chorus

Bruno Mars - "Treasure (Chorus)" (2012)

Breakbot - "Baby I'm Yours (Chorus)" (2010)

Verse

Bruno Mars - "Treasure (Verse)" (2012)

Breakbot - "Baby I'm Yours (Verse)" (2010)

But wait, there’s more! An article I came across points out the similarity of George Duke‘s “Reach Out”:

George Duke - "Reach Out" (1983)

After listening to all of these I really started thinking about Snoop Dogg‘s “Ain’t No Fun” [Explicit Lyric].

Snoop Dogg - "Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None)" (1993)

UPDATE: Haasey suggests below that Midnight Star‘s track “Midas Touch” sounds a lot like Breakbot’s. I concur.

Midnight Star - "Midas Touch" (1986)

Thanks to Hunter for bringing the Bruno Mars vs. Breakbot comparison to my attention.

10 One Direction Songs that Sound Like Other Songs

This is a fairly long list of One Direction (1D) songs that sound like other songs. They seem to do this a lot. Well, the songwriters behind the curtain do. The most interesting thing about this is that most of these One Direction songs came out 1 year after the song they sound like. That doesn’t seem coincidental here. This is a pattern.

 

“Live While We’re Young” sounds like The Clash “Should I Stay or Should I Go”

If you look really closely at the cover of The Clash‘s Combat Rock (1982) you will see the boy band One Direction in the background. This explains it all.
