Jedward
Lipstick
is the same ruddy song as
Britney Spears
Womanizer
Obviously I'm being pseudo-ironic here as both songs are pretty terrible. Jed & Dward must have said "we want a song that sounds a bit like Britney Spears' Womanizer", and clearly someone took that a little too literally by copying the same structure, progressions and drum beat thinking that the general public are too dumb to not even notice this.
Cheating, but it's clever cheating as it's Ireland's Eurovision entry. People who have heard the 'original' will be confused as to why they like this Jedward version, almost as if they've heard it before, hence immediately getting stuck in your head cause it's already in there!
It's actually genius, therefore I salute the electro-incestuous gobshites.
BAD COVER
Lady Gaga
Judas
is the same song as
Lady Gaga
Bad Romance
Now, for the very same reasons as mentioned above, this doesn't work when you use your own previous hit as a template for another hit. It's too obvious, and lazy.
If you strip it down, the structures are pretty straight forward for both songs;
- Camp Kelly Llorenna-esque intro
- Annoying oral 'noise'
- Big electro beat w/oral noise
- Verse
- Bridge
- Really disappointing Euro-pop chorus with similar "Woah-ooohs"
- (Repeat)
