Thing that are so alike (to me) until they're not...

Basically this is a lazy post, so forgive me for that. But I have this idea, about things in music that sound basically the same, but they are not related at all. Unless, of course, I'm actually out of my mind and they don't sound the same. But I think I'm right on some of them, so please, let me know what you think in the comments (don't be shy, you can curse me all you want!)

1. The intro of "Let It Go" (the right version, not Demi's)...



... and the intro of "All Of Me" by John Legend.



I know, I know, they are different, and it's only the piano, but sometimes, when I heard the first accords, I was having a hard time telling them apart. So sue me.


2. New PSY featuring Snoop Dogg (!), "Hangover" (especially the chorus)...



...and Lil' Wayne's "A Milli" (which I ADORE).



A no-brainer. The fact that practically Snoops raps the entire song should be an indication of that. An aside: I guess Snoop Lion didn't stick, and now he's doing duets with PSY. Well, it happens.


3. The videos "Ride" and "Born To Die" by Lana del Rey...





...and Taylor Swift "I Know You Were Trouble".



I mean, duh. I guess Taylor thought this was a good idea, but Lana pulled it off effortless, and Taylor looked really out of field. But I like those songs, so I guess it's a win-win for all (not for Lana, though, she were never credited for those gorgeous mini-movies).


4. "Bedtime Story" by Madonna, circa 1995 (Live on the Brits!)...



... and Lady Gaga's "ARTPOP" (Live on The Tonight Show) circa 2014.



Yeah, I'm putting this out there to see what kind of reaction it gets. Seriously, the first time I watched Gaga's performance I reminisced of that unique performance by Madonna (unique in the sense that Madonna didn't proper toured or promoted "Bedtime Stories" on other venues). And I like both songs. And they looked so similar. For me, anyway.


5. The "Heart Attack" epidemy on pop... not literally, thank God.











What's so romantic about a heart attack? No, just no. Heartache will be fine, but a heart attack sound more like going on a rush to ER than anything else. Funny thing: these are all from the last two years, so I think they're out of ideas here.

And so am I. Until next post, where I can really talk about important stuff, I guess. Or at least more exciting, I promise.
