The Source

22 Nov 2017

Show 014 / Kelly Chic Saint

Music

Episode 14 features songs from Kelly ClarksonMan 2 Man, and Digital Farm Animals.

The final track on Episode 13 was “Can’t Get Blue Monday Out of My Head” by Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue.

“The Source” explores popular music with the aim to discover if it has been “borrowed” from other songs.  The show will go back to the source of popular songs, and play the songs they have sampled from.

Song Notes

All Saints / Madonna

“Pure Shores” by All Saints was released back in 1999.

A critic compared the song to Madonna’s album Ray of Light. Get this – the critic was quoted as saying “[Pure Shores] is an inane enough confection of bleeps and fieldmouse rhythms which sounds so close to Madonna that it’s almost indistinguishable.

According to Melbourne’s Herald Sun, Madonna was reportedly livid when producer William Orbit gave this futuristic dream-pop to the UK girl band and not her.


Kelly Clarkston / Anastacia

Whether intentional or not the song sounds quite similar in the melody and the chords.

The original writers or artist have not been credited in this case.


Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello / Bill Withers

“I know what you did last summer” was performed by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.

While unintentional the “I Know I know I know” lyric earned Bill Withers a credit for “I know what you did last summer”. Withers did not need to legally persue the credit.
