Did Owl City borrow from Toto?

[TheGamesphere]

They both have the same chord progression and ToTo might have been inspiration for Owl City, either way they are great songs and YES...both similar but not the same

[sndchck]

I mentioned this when the song first came out.

[balin2k]

sounds very simmilar!

[debtman7]

They may not be exactly the same but I'm with bradleyland, every single time I hear this song my brain starts to launch into Africa...

[tophiee9]

Blogstein is crap, they don't go together at all

[ShotgunProds]

...so?

[Funkifitized]

WTF! NOBODY BASHES KARL WOLF FOR THIS...

... even in the Coldplay/Satch case... (love Satriani though)

... you can't copyright chords, rhythms or non-melody. even then it gets shady.

[BoogieBot91]

I sure there's a lot of sound that use the same chord progression.

[fuckallthehaters1]

This is retarded! They don't even sound alike! People and their damn conspiracy theories!

[HIimMAC]

my uncle came to me telling me this and i thought he was crazy intell i found this video but i can hear it very well now. Video helped alot thanks

[bradleyland]

I agree with you 100% Dr Blogstein! Every time I hear that melody in Fireflies, I compulsively sing the dudu dun dun dudu dub duuuuu part of Totos Africa after it, and my buddy Scott dies laughing. Hes a child of the eighties and a huge music fan as well.

[creamtaicho]

my hubby talked about the same point but i didn't understand what he meant, but now i know what he meant. thanks!!

[Diegovogarcia]

Omfg it has NOTHING to do...

[finalgetaway69]

bullshit. you have too much time on your hands and your blog fails.

[martiniisgood]

I thought I was the only one who noticed the similarity!

[zylert]

This is a piece of crap.

[ZipZendrummer44]

i think this is crazy! and not in a good way
