Sherwin Williams needs to die. They did THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN1id2dmH3o to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N8BYNMMjqU That just...offends me, somehow. (those of you who've lived under a rock for the last 40 years may skip to 8:40...but I'd recommend listening to the whole thing because it's such amazing music...) | ||

Get them up against the wall! | ||

Sorry Rat, I don't hear the connection, but I'll take your word on it... Guess I'm not as intense a "Floyd" fan as you. | ||
| Daddio |
Good catch, Rat-- I saw that ad on TV and was trying to figure out what song it was, huh, who'da known. I guess if Led Zeppelin can sell Cadillacs... | ||
| Teeps |
Help me out Daddio. I don't hear the tune nor the lyrics in the S/W commercial... | ||

Shine On has "remember when we were young, you shone like the sun", but there's another Floyd song (damned if I can think of it) that has the rest of the lyrics in it. Verbatim. Either that or it's in Shine On somewhere and I missed the verse on youtube. I know those are Pink Floyd lyrics...just haven't found the exact track yet. I guess what's old is new again...or there just aren't any original thoughts left(shrug) | ||

Ok, it's close, I get it now. It's ironic that American Blues music had to go to England and then back to the US before it became recognized. | ||

It's not a Pink Floyd song. The lyrics to Shine On You Crazy Diamond and the melody in the ad are different. (Message edited by Crusty on August 23, 2014) | ||

Im with Crusty on this one...and i am a big Pink Floyd fan...not the same. | ||
| Ratbuell |
Oh, I know it's not the same tune. But I swear those lyrics - in their entirety - are somewhere in a Floyd song...I just have to sit and listen for a bit, dust off the old LPs... | ||

I don't know if you believe everything that's on the internet, but this credits Beacon Street Studios for the 'Custom Song'. FWIW, 1313 | ||
| Daddio |
Yeah, but if John Fogerty can get sued (and lose) for plagiarizing a Creedence Clearwater Revival song that he wrote! than that song is too close to Floyd's... | ||

The lyrics are darn familiar, but I don't recall which song. Eventually every "new" song will be partly plagiarized. There are only so many notes, so many possible combinations. how many people rip off parts of John Cage's 4:33? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTEFKFiXSx4 | ||

There is a little similarity at the beginning... ...but the cadence and rhythm are way off. I hear what you're hearing, but I disagree on how similar they are. It's barely there. | ||
| Pwnzor |
it's missing that whole psychedelic journey as an intro | ||

>>how many people rip off parts of John Cage's 4:33? A few years back, a band put a short period of silence in their album and attributed it to 4:33. A funny joke. Oops! Lawyers got involved! Money is to be made! They fought and lost, having to pay off for royalties for a silent spot on their record. http://tuxdeluxe.org/node/88 | ||

It's closer to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4RjJKxsamQ | ||

Scorpions were the masters of the power ballad. | ||
| Daddio |
"Scorpions were the masters of the power ballad." Now selling diet cookies to body-conscious middle-aged women... but, at least, in the YouTube version lacks the "Rock You Like a Hurricane" http://youtu.be/0IrtlwjXZqc | ||

So, which Floyd do you like best, Barrett or Waters? | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
you could just type the lyrics in google and if its a pink floyd song it'll pop up... or maybe it isnt and youre just being dumb about this. |
