You guys have to check this out. How they got away with it is completely beyond me.

Damn talentless bastards.

Here's my theory on how Nickelback got away with this.

People that have ears for good, distinguishable music don't listen to garbage like Nickelback.

People that want to get drunk and grab some titties and puke all over themselves listen to Nickelback. They also have no taste, nor do they care about the music.

Well I sure as hell never would have noticed that, because I am tone deaf and I don't know crap about music. All I know is what I like, and I always hated Nickelback. Maybe it was subconscious. That was so awesome, I can't believe no one pointed it out before. I'm going to send that link to my local morning show, that would rock so much if they played it.

Hmmm. I loved "How You Remind Me" but up until the last (the first?) thread about this, I knew that "Someday" reminded me of something else...

Its like the white stripes say
songs are just verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, chorus.

Its too easy to formulate these days. There are thousands of bands that you could do that to. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if you could do it to OLP.

i'm sorry the stripes didn't say that. That was Kurt Cobain. I have his diary its in there. But as for nickelback, did anyone see that matthew good article about his new album where he says when you Took the lyrics out of one song it was basically one of their other songs. so people have been doing it for long before Nickelback, even one of the best bands in the world The Who.

You can do that with Britney Spears' "Oops I did it again" and "Hit me one more time" (or whatever they're called). Two women sang them both on Just for Laughs, hilarity ensued.

I have never read Cobains diary, nor do I plan to. What I said was part of advertising for The White Stripes Elephant.

I like both of those Nickelback songs. I would never buy any of their albums and I'd never go out of my way to listen to their songs, but if it's being played on the radio I'm not going to turn the station just because they have two hit singles in the same key.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 6/20/2004, 8:51 am

It's not just that they're the same key (though they clearly are). The structures are absolutely identicle. The exact same breaks, the exact same emphasis put on the exact same parts. It's crazy how exactly alike these songs are.

Reyna · Post by **Reyna** » 6/22/2004, 6:18 pm

Yuck. Nickleback makes me want to gag. Seriously...some bands I don't like...but Nickelback is like....the Worst Band Ever. I can't believe I just listened to their songs of my own free will, even if it was just to prove how awful they are. *shudders*

Baby Thief · Post by **Baby Thief** » 6/22/2004, 7:06 pm

I actually just heard my friend talk about this a few days ago. I'm glad this was posted. It's terrible... oh my. I want to see someone do this with bands that have real talent. I'd be interested to see how it would sound... yeah, i'm weird

if you listen close to someday, you can easily tell its sped up. not to mention they cut parts out here and there to make the two match. its been messed with. try getting both the tracks and mixing them your self.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 6/22/2004, 7:18 pm

Yes, it was sped up, but that doesn't change the fact that the songs follow an absolutely IDENTICAL pattern.

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 6/22/2004, 10:14 pm

Yeah, same rhythm, same chords, same emphasis on the vocals. Same song.

Just because one was sped up a little bit to prove the sucking factor doesn't make the songs any different.

they're not that similar. just the verse chorus bridge pattern without any intro.
