To those making a reference to Eminem's song. It is EXTREMELY doubtful that Eminem would have even have heard of Malcolm McLaren, much less have heard this song. It was very obscure and ALL of you would never have heard of it either if it weren't for Youtube. So, relax and get over it. I had this 12" back in the '80s and the only way I heard of it (and, I have an extensive knowledge of music) was because it was on the record which included "Madame Butterfly" which DID have club play back then.
Buffalo gals was and is a very influential song in the hip hop word. I lived in the bronx in the 80s and it was played EVERYWHERE!! Eminem was referencing this song and has said so himself.
I really like Stan by Eminem but hearing this Malcolm McLaren song for the first time I can't help but wonder if there wasn't some unintentional plagarism going on, perhaps Eminem heard this when he was a kid and something about stuck in his mind.
This song is really creepy.

@Harrylechat01 I don't see a lot of similarities aside from the obvious of letters from obsessed fans. But really, that's a pretty common concept

@Harrylechat01 he did steal the concept of this song, but its not plagiarism since he used different lyrics/cover/sample/song/clip/setting
