Did Lady Gaga borrow from Cars by Gary Numan?

[BritAU2TH]

How can you even put a freak like that talentless bitch in the same sentence as gary numan, let alone compare the music? No contest.

[iktomi76]

Actually Papparazzi starts out with the same riff as Numan's 'Metal...' but the vocal is totally the 'Cars' synth line

[markiboy1981]

They're just using the same synth sounds!. Nothing like Numan.

[Polgani]

blasphemy against Numan.

[andynorthcroy]

Sounds more like the pet shop diddys....

[sl3ptsolong]

the way its sung is pretty identical. obv different notes but you could make a case for gaga copying the idea. a lot of songs sound similar though i mean there's only so many ways you can sing a song lol

[sportandmovies]

NOTHING LIKE IT WHAT SO EVER

[yippikiyayo]

I wouldn't say they sound a like

[Beatmyguest001]

She's influenced by a lot of people. I like GaGa, she's catchy but she's not original at all.

[smujohnson]

I see the resemblance, but as the author of this video stated, that's all it really is.

[brumsterbrum]

No real likeness but she does like him. Numan obviously is more influential.

[djbat3]

Seems anyone can get a radio show these days.

[808markd]

bollocks. im a numan fan it sounds f**k all like cars. f**king clown.

[Kazandra1]

If there had been any similarity, i would have picked it up....been a Numan fan since the beginning. Get a grip Dr. Blogstein.

[coketherealthing]

They need to lay off the drugs because I can't hear it or I need to do some.

[prince59828]

gaga is nothing compare to numan

[fergusil]

OH SHIT!! Hes right! Yeah..I just coped it! Gaga should find someones elses balls to play with-her own!

[fergusil]

what shit! that  DJ should have been fired for coming out with such shit! ..this is where our TV license money goes to ...funding this shit!

[Shwah7]

3:01 

[aaardvarkkk]

"Borrow"? Is that what we're calling STEALING now? Of course Man Gaga copied Numan. Lots of "artists" do. Numan was, is and always will be awesome enough to be copied.

[LetzRock1]

@JohnMeetsFKennedy Stop sucking Lady Caca's dick. The world is shit because of your bad taste in music.

[LivinWorstNightmare]

Lady GaGa don't have an original bone in her body. Just look at that picture and go dig out the vinyl of Aladdin Sane.

[krazyzark]

I thought the same thing of this when I first heard Paparazzi. I don't think she copied it, but it definitely is reminiscent. Now I'm off to see about doing a Gaga/Fear Factory mashup.

[OralAgreement69]

no, NOT reminiscant of CARS.  not at all. you are reading into it

[GNeuman]

Huh? 

[hellchild65]

Not really...BUT Gaga is still unoriginal in many other ways........btw Numan is badass

[purespike]

If you want proof of the influence that Mr Numan has on Gaga there is also another song of his 'A Child with the a Ghost' that she seams to have copied when she did 'Dance in the Dark' search the two titles,play them and on both songs after about 20 secs they can be played at the same time and it sounds like one song. try it.

[BigRedEO]

I've been saying this ALL YEAR!! I've always wanted someone to do a "mash-up" of the two because they complement each other very well! In fact, I just posted another mash-up on my Facebook page and asked if anyone knew of a mash-up of "Cars" and "Paparazzi"!

[jess11513]

lady gaga did too back off

[LetzRock1]

Yes they are similar in their structure and repitition but the mood of the songs and instruments are very different.

[DarthMeow504]

Difference is Gary Numan has talent. Other than that... yeah, she totally ripped him off. And sadly, she couldn't even get that right. She has the dubious distinction of taking an awesome and influential piece of music history and turning it into unlistenable drek. In other words, she turned gold into shit.

Good going.

[Fukko]

nope.com



[MobiusBandwidth]

sounds much more like Metal, from the same LP as Cars, the Pleasure Principle.

[emjay946]

im the worlds biggest numan fan, no way has the lady used cars. a resemblance in rhythm maybe, thats where it ends, lol

[smujohnson]

ya dude. i see it now for sure. nice post

[Pwnz0rEatingFood1337]

i heard this the first time i listened to the song and googled it and found this

[IassassinIam2012]

"They are both songs?!"  FUCKING GREAT!

[Edtheyak]

how can people not think there similar?

[PuttingOnTheFoil]

NO. Fail.

[soundation]

beginning beats are more like Pussy Cat dolls "Don't ya!"

[genglemt]

Similar to "Cars"? That's a stretch. If you want to put your finger on something, the beat is very similar to Kraftwerk's "Numbers"

[Sqdrn1]

Curious - I don;t thyink they sound the same but from teh first second I heard Paparazzi I loved it and went straight out and bought the CD - and I have been a major Numan fan right from the beginning - and with every one of his Albums.,... so maybe they really do have something in common.

[leebee303]

How could anybody even consider comparing Lady GARBAGE to Gary Numan?

[glassonion909]

i noticed this before even seeing this video.

[glassonion909]

@glassonion909 its exactly the same imbeciles.

[rhylmart]

nothing like it..you must be tuned in differently lady?

[numajoff]

numan is way superior

[MrYuppie]

No fucking way...

[horselaverda]

the very start sounds like smashin pumpkins intro 1979,but sounds nothing like numan

[Polgani]

NO!

[sportandmovies]

the tempo similar but that's all its nothing like the song

[PsychoSioux]

Sounds nothing like it!

[JarrodCook93]

I own both albums and I just dont see it.

[hanky2112]

lol nope! not even close

[Telekon5]

Not by a long shot.

[DerVampyrEngel]

No way

[GNeuman]

dont think so
