So Shady!

Filed under: Avril Lavigne > Icky Icky Poo > Music Minute > Pink

Looks like power producer Dr. Luke - the supposed pop hit 'maker' - is in trouble again.

He was accused last year of ripping off (and not crediting) the Rubinoos' I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend and turning it into the April Lavigne shit hit Girlfriend. Everyone borrows or samples and it's acceptable for the most part. You just can't claim to have come up with it on our own!

Luke's also suspected of giving the hook he 'created' for a Veronicas song to another client, Pink, for the tune U + Ur Hand.

NOW, Arizona rockers The Asphalt claim that the dirty doc took the hook of their song Tonight and repurposed it for former Idol Chris Daugherty's song Feels Like Tonight.

    WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!!

    I have tried repeatedly to post this on US Weekly's site but whoever is monitoring the site keeps "deleting" it. So, I'm posting it on other blogs cause I feel that as readers you should know.

    After leaving my comments on a US Weekly article today it really got under another poster's skin and she started freaking out and leaving lots of other comments under her name and other names. Whatever. But, IMAGINE MY SURPRISE when she fired back with another comment telling everyone my full name (first and last) even though all I had used was my first name!!!

    Somehow "Smoothie Sucks" (her name) was able to obtain my last name!!!!!

    So, either "Sucks" works for US Weekly and therefore has access to EVERYONE'S NAME and of course EVERYONE'S E-MAIL ADDRESSES or she knows someone who works there that was willing to jeopardize their job by giving her that info or someone is hacking into their system.

    It gets even worse if you are a member of usmagazine.com because when you join they ask for your REAL ADDRESS and your TELEPHONE NO. and she can get that info too.

    So if you VALUE YOUR PRIVACY or your ANONIMITY, forget it. US Weekly is giving out personal information. I have reported this and will follow it up until I find out how they did this.

    guess what???
    I DONT CARE!! so what if songs are ripped off? i mean….i think the 'ripped off' songs should be played, but like…for example, Feels Like Tonight should be a song by Daughtry BASED on a song by Asphalt.
    see how easy that was? NO BIGGIE!!

  13. daughtry fan (former_ says – reply to this

    OMG - That is crazy similar … And I love the Daughtry song but that is just wrong to steal!

    damn i wasn't first,
    but yeah this person is guy.
    try writing some original songs.. outside of the music industry,
    alone in a cold room with a bag of poop.

  20. Why people care says – reply to this


    20

    People should care because the original artist is getting jack because of this. The ripoff is obvious, and the original artist should be compensated for it.

    This has been happening since the dawn of the music industry! Didn't anyone see that movie Dreamgirls? You know, the one loosely based on The Supremes and Motown! Bitch ass greedy mother fuckers have been stealing music from the talented and producing it to the masses (via the less-talented) for ages!

    Re: Davo

    Um, how bout you keep your racist mouth shut Davo, cause you're obviously full of shit that no one wants to hear. Go regurgitate it in your toilet where it belongs….and flush yourself down with it while you're at it. Asshole.

    Pink's rip off of the Veronica's 4ever bugs me so bad.

  33. areukidding? says – reply to this


    33

    just because two songs say "it feels like tonight" does not mean they are the same…4 words out of…….how many are in a song, doesnt mean its copied. this is stupid. perez im a little upset you posted something this ridiclous, i wasted my time watching it

  34. melissajean0 says – reply to this

    Once again, someone stealing anothers music. This is just pathetic, people have nooooo talent nowadays.

  35. erm says – reply to this


    35

    in my honest opinion, if the original song that was "stolen" was so great in the first place, it would have been more well known. i guess it IS easy to rip off old or unpopular music for hooks. who's going to know when their own mom barely knows that wrote it.

  36. tracey says – reply to this


    36

    Holy Crap…total rip-off!!! I can't stand people who are so talentless like AVril Lavigne and others who have to steal other artists ideas/songs/copncepts..whatever.

    I hope this douche gets sued!

    I don't think they sound alike at all

    ERM - You're an idiot. Just because you haven't heard The Asphalt, it doesn't mean they are completely unknown. And it takes more than having a "GREAT SONG" to be famous. You have to be lucky, and also know the right people. Get a clue and stop pretending you know ANYTHING about the music business.

  39. lil says – reply to this


    39

    No I do not think that this particular song has been stolen. The only thing that was remotely the same was the four words" it feels like tonight" and that was it. Making a big deal out of nothing with this one.
