The journey of a Song

Hi All,

With a biiiiiig gap .. I am back !

This will be a small post with lot of songs. They talk about remix, remake, inspiration and stolen songs all the time. One of the songs I was listening these days is "La La La " from singer Auburn. (She is from Minneapolis !!). Okay .. I was wiking (now I feel they should add this with googling) that song and I found it was a version of the other song from German Europop band ATC ( A touch of Class). I searched that song and found that it is not their song but it came from a Russian original song "Pesenka (La La La)". Now I got confused that what's going on and I found out that there are more two versions of this song one from Girlicious " 2 in the morning". They just sampled "La La La" and the other from beFour (again German) "Magic Melodies". So I thought I can share a journey of a song chronologically with you.

First comes the original Russian "Pesenka (La La La)" 1998



Then comes the ATC one "Around the world (La La La La La) 2000



Now comes beFour " Magic melodies " 2007



Time for sampler Girlicious " 2 in the morning" 2010



And here comes the song from Auburn.



Wow so many songs .. and so many versions.

Yah, I don't want to get in to fighting about the original and stolen or inspiration - hmm this can be a method to introduce a nice tune, song, idea, film to the other world. As we say in academic world references should be perfect so they wont tell you that its a plagiarism.

I am thinking of writing about Europop. That was the with which we were introduced to the English music and later found out those guys were not from US or UK. But that will be a separate post.

Till then La La La
