Did Jackson ripped of queen song? the beat sounds very similar to me.I am pretty sure he was influenced! |
| inu-liger 09.04.2012 02:23 |
So? AOBTD ripped off Good Times. And surely Good Times had some sort of prior inspiration? |
| Sebastian 09.04.2012 04:34 |
AOBTD (and other songs from The Game) may have influenced Thriller (the album) far, far, far, far more than Hot Space did. |
| Micrówave 09.04.2012 10:51 |
Production wise, Thriller sounded a lot like Off The Wall. Is it possible that MJ inspired Queen who then inspired MJ thus taking Queen totally out of the loop? Perhaps Queen should have thanked Michael Jackson's Thriller before they started recording Hot Space. |

They are both songs driven by a bassline. That's where the similarity ends. |
| Stelios 09.04.2012 11:25 |
Bouth songs have strong repetitive bass lines.The melody and stracture is formed around the cathchy staccato beat and bass. Lyricwise they create a mysterious and destressed atmoshephere suggesting something bad is going to happen. Propably similar B.P.M. also. |

Lyricwise they create a mysterious and destressed atmoshephere suggesting something bad is going to happen. Like this comparison? Trust me. There is no musical comparison to structure, form, lyrics, etc. Possibly Similarties you should use instead: 1. Both were recorded works of music 2. Both were sold at record stores in the mid-80's 3. Both were danced to many, many times. 4. Both have hidden backwards-masked lyrics 5. Both feature "additional percussion" 6. Both charted, though one much higher and longer 7. Ronald Reagan was President of the US when both were released 8. Both have featured on "Spotlight on Music" That's about all I can find. |

Both have an A note in them! C'mon Microwave.....don't miss the facts. |

"Lyricwise they create a mysterious and destressed atmoshephere suggesting something bad is going to happen" Wow..! That is by far the wankiest thing ever written on this message board... and that is an IMMENSE feat! |

Both songs' lyrics are in English. |

Let It Be and Bohemian Rhapsody are both piano driven. |

No, Michael Jackson did not become ripe because of Another One Bites the Dust; your question makes no sense.
Now, if you meant RIPPED off, that makes more sense. Both songs are both sort of funky tunes, so naturally they are going to have similarities, particularly a repetitive, catchy bass line. That's not Michael Jackson ripping off Queen, that's just him doing what virtually ever funk song ever has done; it's called conforming, not stealing. Besides the fact that both have a repetitive bass line, they're really not that similar at all. MJ has said he was influenced by Queen, but that doesn't mean he stole anything.
A few people have said something pretty similar to this, I'm just putting it all together and rewording it. I guess you could call that ripping them off, but I don't really care.

the bassline and some parts of the melody structure are very similar Gladly ABTD misses the silly lyrics and the sissy choreography of the jakson version it makes me wonder if there are any differences between mj gaga and bieber My youtube name is simply a tribute to Merle Oberon i just add a star... |

On the other hand i bet that you couldn't do it even if you tried.So give us a break. |

That prooves is better to be flaming gay than mildly sissy. |

the closest Freddie got to MJ is the closing seconds of "Put Out The Fire"... ABTD & Thriller = nothin' there |
| liam 10.04.2012 08:57 |
No it should be an 'A' note in the song, not A flat. The song was originally in E but sped up so is in F I believe? Someone correct me please! |
| brENsKi 10.04.2012 12:12 |
they were both - 7" diameter with a ¼" hole in the middle. - black plastic with grooves - had a b-side. - had drums, bass and singing - sold shedloads all over - made reference to zebras and antelopes * i made up one of the above |

What about Dancer? That beat is very MJ-ish. |

liam wrote: No it should be an 'A' note in the song, not A flat. The song was originally in E but sped up so is in F I believe? Someone correct me please!Yes, that's it exactly. When they sing it live, they play it in E. Are you suggesting it was sped up in the Studio and was not recorded that way? That I am not sure of. with a ¼" hole in the middleExcept here in the states... land of the bigger hole. |
| brENsKi 11.04.2012 11:20 |
i'm glad i can still type ¼" hole, rather than the 6.23mm hole the eurocrats would have me type |

Thank you all for your opinion. I guess that the majority of you people also think that Keeps Geting Better is not influenced by Your My Best Friend.. |
