jonnyw Group: Members Posts: 522 Joined: Oct. 2005 Posted: Sep. 15 2007, 08:42 Either way, I think its a crap song -------------- Grand piano. Reed and pipe organ. Glockenspeil. Bass guitar. Vocal chords. Two slightly sampled electric guitars. The venitian effect. Digital sound processor. And Tubular bells.

There are a few notes with similar intervals however, which probably was caught by your Oldfield-sensitive ears. Below very simplified notation with TB transposed: -------------- --- Markus K.

It's pretty impressive, and no, I've seen nothing of Mike Oldfield in it. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

Ebony Group: Members Posts: 172 Joined: June 2007 Posted: Sep. 15 2007, 20:49 Hmmm.  I can't really tell when the guy's actually singing but at the beginning when it's just the music, it does sound slightly Tubular Bells-esque.  I wouldn't say it's a rip off by any means though cause to me it's only vaguely similar.

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Sep. 16 2007, 17:07 Oh, c'mon, guys - especially Jameson. You can't be such Oldfield fanatics/maniacs [BTW, do you remember that old topic - "Symptoms of Mike Oldfield fanatics" ? ] that you're hearing TB everywhere you hear a tinkling piano. If this sounds like TB, then this also does. [Sorry, I couldn't find Simonetti's original on YouTube. ]  And this also does. No wonder that the most recent comment on this latter one quotes The Exorcist. Now who's first one to have ripped TB off?? EDIT: It looks like Simonetti's original IS on YouTube - you can hear a tiny bit of it starting from 2:00 in this one... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Sep. 16 2007, 19:56 Well I have Chocolate Rain in my faves on You Tube and I have listened to it a few times and can't hear the similarity but maybe I'm a bit cloth eared. I just watched one of the many videos where they compare Pachabells CANON in D with many modern songs and I thought they were pushing it a little there. We all know that practically everything is a rehash of that which went before and I'm sure TB was ripped from something else too. I heard some Debussy for the first time on a You Tube video the other day, how lovely it was. (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) by Claude Debussy. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

jonnyw Group: Members Posts: 522 Joined: Oct. 2005 Posted: Sep. 17 2007, 12:27 I have watched that video maybe a total of 4 times now, and I really still cant understand what It's about, (something about black opression or something?) The backing track is terrible, and his voice is horrendous.. in my opinion. -------------- Grand piano. Reed and pipe organ. Glockenspeil. Bass guitar. Vocal chords.

Moonwing_Shadow Group: Members Posts: 69 Joined: Jan. 2006 Posted: Sep. 18 2007, 07:52 I did hear a similarity, but maybe Ugo has a point - maybe just about any short repeated piano part (especially at the start of a song) would remind us of Tubular Bells! -------------- I'd rather be on Dragonback Back to top

I absolutely agree with you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzTtXnRbui0 But the cover of TB sounds more like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi_GWt6DgHU I am looking for the creator of this version by the way.
