Boys Like Girls Steal "Love Drunk"

[lackofcouture]

A friend of mine pointed out yet another song this girl band ripped off, the song "mistake" by stephanie mcintosh, in the chorus of her song when she says "'cause i can't be alone again"

[Hoie444]

When it comes to writing music alot of things will sound "familiar". Especially when it comes to chords and Key signatures.

[ikatierox]

i just gottta agree with all the people saying the words arent copied!

theres so much music now that its hard to come up with your own beats.

so if you dont like it cause a few notes are the same, fuck off and stop listening to it! no one said you HAD to listen. boys like girls is the most amazing band EVER! whether or not you think so is your opinion. but........

BOYS LIKE GIRLS FOREVER & ALWAYS BITCHES <3333333

[ineedsleepingpills]

@ikatierox You should check out LMTLF on youtube

[megafishfart]

when there's already so many songs written, it naturally becomes more likely that what you write would coincide with what's already written

you obviously do not write songs

[kkluvsdanny08]

ohkay so they sounds similar, so what? happens all the time in the music industry. Compare "California Girls" to "Tik-Tok" and other stuff. Boys Like Girls does it better :p

[UnicornRoyalty]

@kkluvsdanny08 California Gurls and Tik Tok were written and produced by the same person, Dr. Luke.

[heyiamtara]

omg i totally noticed the killers one. i love the killers!! stupid boys like girls. i used to like them too, but they suck now

[abrcrmbieluva98]

wow, i didnt notice it when i first knew the song, but my friend told me about how its chorus has the same tune a somebody told me. i thought it was just a coincidence, but i cant believe it has the same chords in the beginning as who says you can't go home!

[jackbetts1994]

lol they so stole those riffs. lyrics are different why can't the people below see your not saying they're the same?

[haydnb1]

He is right u lot are tards as soon is i heard it i googled boys like girls rip off

[narutokittycat]

even if it sounds the same it dosnt mean they copyied it they have there own lyrics and some parts sound like other songs .big deal!

[tomehh212]

LOL a bunch of retarded who dont know music than rip other people songs that sucks!!

[zdk2013]

i agree. I just realized they stole from the killers when I heard it, but it's totally true that they stole bon jovi's tune. Good vid.

[AVA7X]

i agree with everyone that they sound the same, but i dont think that means they ripped them off, its just the facts that with music there are so many different ways to play something, and just because they sound the same doesnt mean they are, you can say they ripped off the melody, but you cant steal inspiration for your songs, and all the bands have different musical backrounds, that plays a big role, and either way i still love the band

[rockongirl787]

i dont think somebody told me sounds anything like Love Drunk. but the sugarland does sound alike. but who cares Blg is rock sugarland is country. and Ive heard songs that have sounded the exact same but no one does anything bout those.

[flamingSSJ4]

Listen to the tune of both choruses to Somebody Told Me and Love Drunk. Should be obvious unless you're retarded.

[rockongirl787]

i did and it doesnt sound anything alike

[seneng]

are you tone deaf or sumthin rockongirl?

it sounds exactly the same u retard

[cashdudehomie]

I just heard this on the radio today, and the 2 stolen songs IMMEDIATELY popped out. It is very obvious that they ripped them off. Boys Like Girls are a bunch of pussies.

[rockongirl787]

at least they did something with their life. not people like u wasting ur time trashing peoples music on youtube all day

[PATDhOLiX15]

oh damn

lawsuit anyone?

[SwimSweetie100]

I noticed this the first time I ever heard love drunk. Complete cop-out! Posers. I hate music lately.

[AJISROCKIN]

fuk u boys like girls is awesome

[archangelannihilator]

ineedsleepingpills: poor u! people like u also listen to songs like hotel california all over agian and suddenly hear a satanitic message!

[ineedsleepingpills]

umm.. what?

[Leonicdragon]

@archangelannihilator You're an idiot

[JuicyTeresa]

god there are so many bands n songs in the world...it can happen that some songs sound smiliar!...wow. big surprise.

[ineedsleepingpills]

you're defending someone you've never met, never will meet, and will never ever know who you are...

[JuicyTeresa]

so what? am I not allowed to say my opinion on this because they don't know me?

[gomesleh]

yeah, juicy is so right!

[valmmm]

fuck you guys stop protecting them , they are fucking copy-cats . They are so fucked up and can't write their own songs , eveyone who can't see that are just a punch of fags . stfu

[BrokeNCYDEisGAY]

No...They wrote the song...

They just sound the same...

Your so cool because you don't listen to mainstream...am I right?

[lovinyoualways]

Ooookayyy that's why every single lyric on both thier alblums were written by front man Martin Johnson jesus christ do some fucking research before you make an ass of yourself on the internet k thanks.

[ineedsleepingpills]

he/she means they cant write their own songs musically

no one mentioned lyrics

so chill

[rockongirl787]

I'd like to see you write your own music without people trashing and say that ur stealing other peoples music then

[rockongirl787]

Martin Johnson is an amazing song writer.

[lovinyoualways]

I completely agree.

[mjporter5]

i soooo agree

[Leonicdragon]

@lovinyoualways LMAO! touche! Clearly the intended demographic of this garbage is one that knows nothing about musical theory. I'm so tired of talentless copycats getting famous just because they are hot and their label has good marketing and even more so tired of everyone saying that music is too old to come up with anything original. That might be somewhat true, but there are plenty of nothing hits from years ago that talentless artists could copy a la Akon and modern rap...

[rockongirl787]

i didnt see a single word they copied. they write all of their songs!

[ineedsleepingpills]

who said anything about words?

[akulupasokmo]

They all are different !!

[Mongoz08]

U HAVE NO LIFE!!

srsly get off the computer and do something valuable with ur life

obviously uve made it clear u have too much time on ur hands

[DrumteC]

there other song ... heart heart heartbreak verse part sounds very simliar to bon jovi's verse of its my life

[amysty]

listen to Mistake - Stephanie Macintosh, atleast to the end of the first chorus, lots of similarities.

[Synesthesia52]

Change your title and apologize.

Reasonably (if you ACTUALLY analyze them deeper), you can perfectly conclude they haven't ripped anything.

[MewMewCrazyness]

Personally I think that they all sound kind of similar, but not enough to be a rip-off :3

[CatssRockk]

Love Drunk vs Who Says You Can't go home - I think Who Says You Can't Go Home wins on that one

Love Drunk vs Somebody Told me - Love Drunk wins, no contest

[Parkerstan93]

blg win no rip off

[xoGymnast4LIFExo]

boys like girls owns all

[omgemmy0]

who cares?

all three sound great.

[ineedsleepingpills]

Never said I disliked any of them lol

Hence "Make your own conclusions..."

[iPaulTV]

i like the song Love Drunk and the other 2 too. Oh well.
