Jonathan Coulton/Glee 'Baby Got Back' Side by Side Comparison

I put the Glee/Jonathan Coulton songs together and moved the volume, showing that the arrangements aren't just similar, they're exact. UPDATE 1/25 Expand for details.

MORE MORE UPDATE 1/25: Well, they aired it, seemingly unchanged. And it's now for sale in the US iTunes store. They also got in touch with my peeps to basically say that they're within their legal rights to do this, and that I should be happy for the exposure (even though they do not credit me, and have not even publicly acknowledged that it's my version -- so you know, it's kind of SECRET exposure). While they appear not to be legally obligated to do any of these things, they did not apologize, offer to credit me, or offer to pay me, and indicated that this was their general policy in regards to covers of covers. It does not appear that I have a copyright claim, but I'm still investigating the possibility (which I consider likely) that they used some or all of my audio. I'll write something longer and more detailed about this when I can get my head together about it probably in a couple of days. Thanks for your support, but please continue not to burn anything down.

They're selling the song here https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/bab... and I'd suggest you go and leave a review.
