Custom Kings - Sunday

[PDKSound]

1:29 "Fuck!"

[emmaaaaathompson]

fuck everyone that disliked this.

[jpbb1976]

LOL at the hipsters hanging shit on this song, there are slight similarities and deja-vus between this and Panda Bear's "Bros" but to say it is plagiarism is a total exaggeration. Take a look at the major differences instead; "Bros" is far more indebted to the Beach Boys, this song is up-tempo and sunnier. There are a couple of lyrics and chords the same, shock horror.

I'm sure the hipsters could find more plagiarism in the countless "indie" acts riding the early 80's synth bandwagon than this.

[cguitar100]

@jpbb1976 they are not slightly similar the song uses the same chord progressions for the chorus and the verse and lyrics are similar what more do you want? satriani sued coldplay for less evidence.

[RyelleBlitz]

You guys are very angry over this. Does that the moon uses the sun's light (without telling us where the light comes from too!) make you just as angry? I mean seriously, how dare people be influenced by things, or like something enough to incorporate into something of their own.

It's different enough to not matter. They're both good songs.

And flaming people on youtube convinces no one that you are more right.

[Bozo2756]

Meh - Love this song, don't mind Panda Bear's "Bros" either...the debate on plagarism is kinda unecessary...Panda Bear obviously hasn't kicked up a stink (probably because he understands that bands influence other bands)...so let the people who like this song enjoy it...

[DoubleSupercool]

Ahhh, "critically acclaimed". No one bought it, aye? Don't worry about it man. You can rest assured that the masses haven't glommed onto Panda Bear, so you can still keep listening to him. As soon as they do though . . . IT'S OVER!

[DoubleSupercool]

Well, having listened to both, I have say the Panda Bear song is a turgid wallowing badly produced sonic mess compared to this. Same chords (at points in the song) and slightly similar melody? Yes. Yes, that has *never* happened in pop music before. It certainly hasn't been pointed out before, and certainly not in a comedic way (4 chord song? Axis of Awesome). Let the bleating of the hipsters continues. Cue "It's OVER" ala Portlandia :)

[Bigassrobot]

@DoubleSupercool Dang man well I guess it's too bad the Panda Bear album is critically acclaimed and considered to be one of the best albums of the decade.

[campbellobrien]

I like custom kings, but this just aint cool

[JeremyHayAnimator]

Who cares if Custom Kings took a song well loved by indie and electronic fans across the globe and shamelessly appropriated it with no regard to artistic credibility or sense? CUSTOM KINGS RAWKK!K!!!11

[TreeCityUS]

it's like dad rock panda bear

[TreeCityUS]

what a shitty ripoff 

[BazBeast]

WHY



[SaveDaveCampaign]

Chord progressions and melodies are quite common. Not to mention it could be unintentional and the melody may have been unconsciously used. Either way this version is better.

[953robbie]

People who are bitching about how Custom Kings stole the melody from Panda Bear - bros, build a fucking bridge and get over it.

OK, it does sound slightly similar in a SOME parts, but how hard would it be to come up with that anyway. NOT VERY!!!

P.S. Panda Bear is shit

GO CUSTOM KINGS!!!

[TheDarkLordBlaken]

Custom Bros feel like ur banda should have just covered the song if you liked it so much...

[truckasurus]

So just gunna throw this out there, even if Custom Kings did copy some lyrics from Panda bears, there song goes way to long, and you can hardly understand anything that is said, so Custom Kings all the way!

[springsten]

@truckasurus

First of all, Panda Bear is one person and you're shitty opinion doesn't make it right to steal other peoples work.

[VonHades]

I HATE YOU CUSTOM KINGS

[steveothedeveo]

Was going to d/l just this song but after reading all the hoopla about Panda 'never heard of and after hearing don't care much for' Bear, I think I may buy the entire album just to stick the knife into all the PB lovers.

Also the simple fact they're kicking around an aussie footy in the music vid gives them right of passage to lie, cheat and steal as they please. Great song.

* I don't believe them to be liars, cheaters, or stealers. 

[doctormario17]

someone can upload not a word wasted by custom kings plz 

[ilsaz]

Ha ha. Rip off? Yes. But I do enjoy them condensing all the hooks and melodies into an economical 3:43. I don't always have the 12 minutes necessary for the original.

[ilikecats74]

I'VE NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE

[collectibleanimal]

band members deserve to be put down

[tharri]

If by coincidence some hooks from this are similar to that of 'Bros' we can still all safely say that Custom Kings' hit Sunday is a much, much better song altogether. 'Bros' is just 10 minutes of 1 chord and over effected shitty vocals. druggie friendly.

If anyone is to get sued, it should be Panda Bear, for ripping off cliche 60s surf rock melodies. ie Beach Boys

[Decman10]

@tharri you dnt understand music.....fail

[steveothedeveo]

@Decman10 You say the word 'fail' too much.

[mrjamesedward]

could have made a great indie pop cover, as it is they lose all respect.

[popoyt]

"If ‘Sunday’, the first single from Custom Kings’ second album Great Escape, sounds a little bit like Panda Bear’s ‘Bros’ it’s subconscious rather than intentional, says the band’s singer Nick Vorrath." - what a fucking douchebag !

[qaiken]

LOL

[alltheircharity]

feel sorta bad for these bros (via riding plagawavves)

[RickPower345]

@JessicaD088 Its not a cover. they have made up their own (terrible) lyrics in place of Noah's. Its a cheep, cheasy rip off of one of the greatest electronic songs of all time.

[secretsocietyof]

can't wait for the mashup

[simiansam1213]

Look up panda bear bros cunts

[pizzaisfuntoeat]

woooooowwwwwwwwwwww

[harobmx123]

wtf

[IndieGirlable]

I agree with Bozo the Clown, this song is soooooo much better than the panda bear one, they leave them for dead! 

[BOZo275theClown]

@IndieGirlable I know right! Panda Bear's song is so slow and awkward....Custom Kings rock!

[otagouniproject]

@BOZo275theClown Custom Kings = crappy covers band

[SpoonHysteria]

@BOZo275theClown The fact that you didn't notice the similarities in the harmonies, vocal patterns, and the near exact song structure proves that you have no idea what you are talking about.

[Luthanor]

@BOZo275theClown get a pair of ears that fucking work

[SamuelMaglor]

so unchill so azn so bro

[DW8807]

Jeez they didn't even attempt to disguise the fact that they completely ripped off panda bear

[saladfunk14]

PAAAAANDA BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAR. also, lamest clip

[LABGangsters]

Custom Kings are such an original band, i doubt this would have been intentional.

[TeetleBaby336]

lol

[surrealevolution]

how do u know they intentionally stole a melody, people use other peoples music all the time and seek permission to use it legally, it doesnt mean they have to go yell it in the streets that they did, give them a break sheesh

[JizzOrDie]

Lawsuit plz DO IT PANDA

[jjgonzales45]

Charlie PiggyDoggy is mad at "hipster scum" and pulled comments from the CK's Sunday Vimeo vid page. Poor guy. 

[kemmerville]

hm i wonder why you guys are in your fifties and still don't have a career, clearly you have so many great ideas for songs

[IndieGirlable]

@kemmerville If you had any idea about anything you would realise these guys are not in their 50's and have careers outside the band you retard. Stop slagging good music and go do something with your life

[dfewaf]

@IndieGirlable im guessing you haven't heard the song bro's and don't get that everyone is "slagging" the music because its plagiarized.

[SpoonHysteria]

@IndieGirlable No, Panda Bear's "Bros" is good music, this is utter plagiarism. The fact you have indie in your name proves you care more about being labeled than the music itself, so what do you know.

[IndieGirlable]

@SpoonHysteria My name is Indie you idiot. How embarrassing for you.

[SpoonHysteria]

@IndieGirlable Read what I said again, maybe this time you'll actually understand what I'm saying.

[IndieGirlable]

@SpoonHysteria Maybe read my comment again and you'll actually understand what I said smart ass. IT'S MY NAME I WAS GIVEN WHEN I WAS BORN...it's not the type of music.

[pazchris]

this song reminds me of that Panda Bear song "Bros".

[jjgonzales45]

Pretty unchill to steal from Pandy Bears. U bros kinda look like Cool Dads...wonder if you would let your kids rip off a Bieber mp3. Unchill Family Values

[Macday000]

@jjgonzales45 I don't know whats worse; this music video or people who still try extra hard to write like "carles" in 2010

[boricuanboy94]

FAGGOTS STEALING SHITTY MUSIC

[ssstephenssskates]

those dudes should go fuck themselves and apologize to noah

[AutoSuggestions]

THIS SUCKS PLAGIARISM FAIL AAARGGRGH

[ifonlywemovedaway]

Panda Bear > Custom Kings

[SpoonHysteria]

Wow, isn't this Panda Bear's "Bros"??????

[Jenetik214]

Hey man, what's your problem?

[jeffreydknotts]

This is such excessive plagiarism. It's one thing to rip one melody... but to steal a verse melody and use it in the verses of your song, and then steal the chorus melody from the same song and use it in the choruses of your same song... And it's not even just the melodies. Lyrics too! Incredible. These guys should be pretty ashamed of themselves.

[zaggggg]

@jeffreydknotts nailed it!

[Caasz23]

@jeffreydknotts they could have gotten permission off panda bears. you never know. but i get why you said it.. its kinda obvious.

[JessicaD088]

@jeffreydknotts ...it's called a cover.

[jamesparsons08]

@jeffreydknotts Which song?

[JakeRado]

@jeffreydknotts if it's really conscious plagiarism do you really think they would be as retarded and stupid enough to have it on youtube where people could figure it out?

[b3fan13]

@jeffreydknotts link to where it's ripped off for comparison?

[guruben27]

great song boys

[eatmewhileimhhot]

Seriously? this is a COMPLETE rip-off of panda bears - bros. how could they of even thought that this would get by without anybody noticing?

if you haven't already i HIGHLY encourage you to listen to Panda Bear's song Bro's. this is anything but a "coincidence" and if you refuse to believe that Custom Kings stole the hooks from Panda Bear you are definatley cheating yourself.

Panda Bear for life

[ihave2]

total rip off, if you like this, listen to panda bear. it's so much better then this shit sandwich

[puddingmonster]

Plagiarism FAIL!

[WheresPoochie]

Ugh, why don't these Custom King yeasayers actually listen to Panda Bear's "Bros".

[zaggggg]

oh, boy.. looks like they will have some explaining to do :(

[richardhigonsby]

Love bands that steal from other bands.

[MsShagginWaggin]

Love it!!!! Can't wait to see them at The Corner in Melbourne. They are one of my fav bands. Great track and clip. xx

[IndieGirlable]

Awsomeeee songggg!!!!!! Love it! Just bought the album...the songs get better and better!

[WheresPoochie]

Why did they have to rip-off Panda Bear?

There are so many other nice elements to the song that indicate that this band is capable of writing their own hooks. Laziness.

[granap]

@WheresPoochie there's just too many elements in there that are dead on similar for it to be a coincidence...two parts where the melody and lyrics are more or less exactly the same

[mafew82]

@WheresPoochie If you were to listen to the rest of the album you'd see that they are more than capable of writing their own hooks. Why don't you stop slamming local Aussie music and go listen to the awesome album!. Song writers like this don't "rip-off" other bands.

[mcbeave]

@mafew82 You and WheresPoochie just said the same thing... Now, I can't speak for everyone, but I still think this band is pretty good, and the tune is rather catchy. However, I urge you to search the song Bro's by Panda Bear. Whether it was an accident or not, the vocals have the same melody in the same key at multiple stages in the song. Undeniable. I'm all for supporting local Aussie music (being in a band myself) but if Panda Bear hears this he would have grounds to sue. Dangerous.

[mafew82]

@mcbeave Just take a chill pill. Go buy the album. Cheers.

[mcbeave]

@mafew82 *RAGE* I WILL BUY THE F**KING ALBUM.... AND ENJOY IT.... WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT YOU STUPID MUSIC LOVER

[mafew82]

Awesome upbeat track. Very Beachy. I loooooooooove it!! :)

[ssstephenssskates]

@mafew82 go look up Panda Bear's "Bros" these clowns did a shitty knock-off

[chub969]

lovvveeee it!

[danger0mouse]

i was expecting young dudes. weird. still awesome thou.

[101surferbabe]

looove love love this song :)

just heard it on triple J, and just had to youtube it haha

[mcbeave]

Same key and same vocal melody as 'panda bear - bros'

[boricuanboy94]

@mcbeave definitely, bastards, not very creative these guys huh? bitch asses.. stealing from Panda Bear

[jamabar]

great song, seen it on channel v i love indie rock and Aussie music (good to see the boys kicking Australian footballs around)

[josephclark17]

Like vampire weekend but the songs aren't just a random collection of words

[barringtonm]

Great harmonies boys. well done. keep up the good work.

[pallyandroid]

Loverly
