The DJ Food one, though, has been acknowledged as entirely intentional and above board- I think Strictly Kev was an acquaintance of Dai Sato's, and he contributed the remix of Tank used for Session 0. In fairness, that was pretty common all over (Garbage/Republica also comes to mind), but I'm getting off-topic. I actually find it a bit odd that I've never heard of Lunatic Calm, but also ironic that from that video at least, it looks like their marketing was riding the Prodigy/Firestarter bandwagon of the time. The Bo Kaspers one is interesting since Kanno also used a double bass in the demo version of TRFB before switching to electric for the final ED version. I've seen some of those forum posts, What Planet Is This' similarities to George Clinton's work sticks with me, for example. Glad to see loads of thoughtful responses here. Was just curious what everyone else thought. well, it's very subjective (which is why I wanted to start this discussion in the first place) but to a lot of people, the songs probably sound too similar to be considered purely an homage to the original.Īnyway, I probably come off more puritanical than I meant to about this. But even when Shakespeare "stole", he took elements from other stories and breathed new life into them and really made them his own. I'm totally onboard with the fact that all artists steal in a sense. If we don't worry about, we're in a sense condoning the practice (just because "everybody does it" doesn't mean it's ok), which makes it acceptable for other artists to do the same, which takes away the incentive to create new, original work.

Hm, I personally don't think the number of times that a song is played is particularly relevant in this topic since plagiarism is plagiarism and it's outright bad no matter how ubiquitous the song is. Released 1997ĭJ Food - Let The Good Shine. (Seriously.)īo Kaspers Orkester - En Världsomsegling Under Havet. This topic about her plagiarism has been brought up in other forums but I've yet to see it discussed on Reddit and would be keen to hear your thoughts since you guys tend to have more balanced views than other forums I've come across. The list of Bebop songs for comparison are below. There's a difference between drawing inspiration from prior work and ripping entire chords out of it, and a line has clearly been crossed here (at least, to my ears). At first, I didn't want to believe that Kanno actually plagiarised, but after a fellow Bebop fan showed me a number of her Bebop tunes and the "original", I have to say that the similarities are uncanny.

Yoko Kanno has long been accused of plagiarising other musicians' work and some of the "accused pieces" made it onto Cowboy Bebop too. 'Cowboy Bebop' Netflix Live Action Soundtrack
