Shame on all these artists for being "original"... not. If you want to knock off something, at least knock off something more original.

  • Hey this is stupid. The audio is 4 Chords by The Axis Of Awesome. The song is about how most pop songs have the same 4 chords not about ripping off journey. Idiot.

  • @jake0311 Pachelbel's Canon in D - 1680

  • and it doesn't stop here, I am making a list of more and have come to about 50 other than these

  • Very funny!!! I like it a lot! I also think that it's funny that people are arguing about songs that came out before Journey recorded "Don't Stop..." If people are taking the 'stolen song' literally, then jokes on them. Great job man!

  • Nobody stole from anyone. The notes can be different. It's the pattern in which they are built. The pattern that is the same in all of these songs is the chord scheme: I, V, vi, IV. It has been around for ages(ex: Canon in D - 1694AD. Look it up.). This chord scheme is pleasant to the human ear, fluid and catchy. That's why most songs that have this chord scheme are successful and become "Pop" songs.

  • how could michael jackson have stolen from journey in 1987?

  • I wouldn't really say these songs stole from Journey, but this is a great mash up.

  • 194 dislikes means the people saw their favorite band/artist in this and are going "THIS IS NOT A RIP OFF"

  • Grab any tune at MediaOutletOnline. Just search it with Gooogle :P

  • Pretty sure The Beatles and Waltzing Matilda predate Journey but nice attempt at being a smartass,

  • so ein gschmarri, des sind bloß die akkorde geleich, da is nix geklaut,geklaut is es nur wenn die melodie genau gleich is bzw der text ...
