Similarity Between "The Pretender" And "One Of These Things"

[MissusFingerBottom]

hah this is hilarious. I havent' heard the sesame version but now that I heard it yes there is a similarity and it's cute.

[BritBllt]

"One of these things is not like the other! One of these things is not just another one of your plays, you're the pretender! One of these things I will never surrender!"

Best Sesame Street song ever!

[SomeDude0nline]

HAHA damn, I just realized this today and thought I was the only one.

[heatchampions25]

sesame street scares me

[mikepalomino]

Holy shit, that is why that song has sounded so familiar. It's like a tickle in the back of your mind like - fuck I've heard this before, but wait this is a new song, ain't it? - and now I know why. Thank you to this video's author for revealing this :)

[ericjames810]

foo fighters suck anyway

[QymLym]

@ericjames810 don't lie.

[kkwuzhere67]

yea but we also cant forget about the stairway to heaven ripoff in the beginning riff.

[TheFoofighter23]

@kkwuzhere67 i dont think it sounds like it at all if u play guitar you would see that they aren't played too similar at all......anyway just saying \m/ peace

[ErnieandBert1]

I KNEW IT!

[ramenxnoodles11]

[weare753951]

The Pretender is a great song

[mccoy007shannon]

hahah. true datt

[mentelyunstable]

... I took it a step further.

Really couldn't help myself.

My video responce is a complete video parody of the Foo's video dedicated to Sesame Street. Check it out!

[RabidNozomi]

LOL.

[rogerklotz8]

fuckin hilarious..well dave does have a daughter so maybe he was inspired by sesame street

[crickitobs]

Grohl making money off childhood memories? More likely than you think.

[MurasakiNeko]

YES YES YES!

I always sing the Sesame Street song over The Pretender and drive my friends crazy. It's nice to know the artists themselves appreciate the similarity, lol.

[LindaV117]

@MurasakiNeko ME TOO!! I was driving my kids crazy sining that!

[JRFproductions]

ONE OF THESE THINGS ARE NOT LIKE THE OTHERS

ONE OF THESE THINGS ARE NOT LIKE THE OTHER ONE THOSE THINGS

YOU'RE THE PRETENDER

ONE OF THESE THINGS WILL NEVER SURRENDER

(the lyrics that I thought i heard)

[JRFproductions]

The funniest thing I have ever seen was when I first heard the song on the radio, my family was stuck in traffic, and i thought it sounded like that and when i turded to look out the window, the guy in the car next to us was listening to the same station, and he was lip-syncing it! with great enthusiasm

[JamesJ008]

lmao, thats funny

i once saw a postman tappin his steerin wheel 2 the pretender when it was on the radio

it was so funny

[NerdsWithAttitude]

yes yes YES

[spaceaceanarchy]

I remember hearing this on the radio and being like, "Sesame Street is rockin on the radio?"

[BONEDOMEZ]

they totaly bit that .there cooleither way.

[Paulaum1]

Naaa. Has notihng to do with The Pretender ¬¬

[sonicpotter2000]

It sounds a lot like it to me.

[PianoManGidley]

When I first heard Pretender on the radio, I was at work and there was a lot of background noise, and I thought they really WERE singing "One of these things is not like the other!" over and over again.

[mamimia77]

Holy crap! I thought it was just me!!! I was trying to explain this to so many people!!! I was singing "one of these things is not the other" too!!! Ok, I can die in peace now...ty

[nakedinsuburbia]

i noticed this also!

haha funny.

[cutiepotutie20]

It's the first thing I thought of when I heard it too!!

Thank God for YouTube so I could prove my point to my husband!

[kll510]

I always thought of the Sesame Street song too when I hear this Foo Fighters song. It does sound a lot alike.

[recklessdriver07]

I always thought the same thing and people thought I was loopy or something. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed... and glad also that Dave doesn't dispute it and get pissed like some artists may have.

[pissedbuddha]

HOLY CRAP! I thought I was the only one who noticed the similarity... wow...

[Mex1Cano]

jajaja... rock on dave! :D

[gangsterman1231]

Sesame Street!!! FTW! xD

[francespark]

dave took it and created a masterpiece. haha.

[OwNZorZ]

[stonescourt3]

[Pottsy007]

[fiftyfourhughes]

[Metaknight117]

[distorm]

I KNEW IT!

[emilykix]

i knew it was from sesame street! and no one believed me...

[Tromboner16]

AH!

Me too.

My sister and I would have long arguments about the similarities (or to her, the lack there of.)
