James Blunt ripped off a internet flash!

[Makelele]

So I've been forced to listen to his song "Wisemen" (which is fucking irritating") at work, and yesterday I noticed that I recognized the intro to the song. It was the theme from the internet flash "Tales of the Blode" (which has been around for years, so it isn't the other way around).

First listen to this: http://www.virgin.net/music/musicvideos/jamesblunt_wisemen_hi.html

Then this:

Edit: So it's probably a coincidence, but it sure as hell sounds similar.

They're similar, but I wouldn't say outright that he ripped it off. His music irritates the shit out of me though, so somebody please feel free to shoot him.

I wasn't serious, but I still think it's really close. Almost suable I'd say (just because James Blunt sucks).

I heard a radio station in England isn't playing "You're Beautiful" anymore because no one likes it anymore.

no1 should have liked the song from the beginning. he sings high n whiny every song. woo. what a musician

 

[NegaTiveXero]

DEATH TO JAMES BLUNT.

He's a faggot.

 

[Doctor J]

The intro to that Beautiful tune sounds a bit like the theme to the Incredible Hulk... I always think of David Banner when I hear it... that's not good

Eric Banner?

+1 to James Blunt sucking

Say what you will about his music; I still think he has a unique voice.

Yes, it's unique, but it's also fucking annoying.

 

[Dive-Baum]

OK OK so I know I'm the last person in the world to know but WTF IS A UBER??????

OK...never mind. I went ot ask.com and found out..I kinda thought that's what it was by context.

 

[Korbain]

Yes, it's unique, but it's also fucking annoying.

haha word. unique it maybe, but thats not kewl when u sound like you have clothes pegs on your balls when you sing.

 

[Emperoff]

Yes, it's unique, but it's also fucking annoying.

I do not like the song I heard by him. I didn't like the singing nor the message in the lyrics.

That said, I think there are still more annoying things on the radio, but hearing that guy every day would drive me postal.

Wow that flash is awesome.

The worst thing is they play that song at least once every hour, so I hear it at least 8 times a day. I can't even change the channel because I work at a hardware store, so I think the bosses decide what channel should be playing.


Anyway, the song fucking pisses me off. I mean, he sings the line "You gotta ask yourself a question, where are you now?" at least 600000000000000 times in that song, so it becomes a bit repetive (slight understatement).

Couldn't he have come up with anything else to sing during the chorus/outro?

Mastodon: There are 5 more of those flashes on that site.
