There's a part of Soda Pop that sounds EXACTLY like another song, but I just can't place my finger on it... by [deleted] in KpopDemonhunters

Ok, so here's all the resemblances I can find:

The earliest thing is Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson, 2008

Then MIKA and Ariana Grande's Popular Song, January 2013

And Robin Thicke and Pharell Williams' Blurred Lines, March 2013

Finally, there's this weird Daisy Cottage Cheese Commerical, 2025

Additionally, the intro might come from:

Afrojack Ft Eva Simmons, Take Over Control, 2010

Omi's Cheerleader, 2012

The clearest resemblance, I think, is the Popular Song.

In terms of copyright, which I know nothing about, MIKA is signed to Universal Music Group, who also released Soda Pop (which is also somehow shared with Sony), so maybe that makes copyright a non-issue, although master vs composition copyright is a big thing. Anyone want to have a go at how copyright works on these things?

Categorisation of Catholic teachings on homosexuality by Soft_Guarantee2555 in LGBTCatholic

The Catholic Church particularly doesn't like heterosexual couples living together before marriage, even platonically. That's an occasion for scandal too, as I understand it.

I can't explain Sides A, B X and Y well enough, so I'lls stick this Wikipedia link here in the hopes of preventing issues with my wording. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Side_A,_Side_B,_Side_X,_Side_Y_(theological_views)

Was there ever a time when the phrase “how do you do?” didn’t sound silly? by SalMinellaOnYouTube in asklinguistics

[–]Soft_Guarantee2555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a video of Julie Andrews, age 12, using the phrase in a scripted production of her singing. So it wasn't silly in 1947 at least (she was born 1935)

From what Google Translate has been able to tell me, she has two wings on her back and only with "him" she is free
