not worth your time
rolling in the crazy
02/13/2012
I didn’t watch the Grammy’s last night, but I did wake up to the unavoidable coverage of the winners and losers all over the various news websites that get my days started.
Being somewhat immune to the bulk of any current popular music (I try very hard), I will admit to having seen the name Adele, but managed until today to have never heard any of her music. Considering her overwhelming victory at the Grammy’s, it seemed remotely warranted to give her at least a chance, right?
It didn’t take much time to realize that her song “rolling in the deep” had remarkable similarities to Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy”, a song that no matter how hard one tried, was audibly inescapable a few years ago; and honestly, it had its charm.
I was excited by my discovery, and started planning a mash-up of the two songs, only to discover that I was beaten to the punch by only 12 months or so.
I’m sure the similarities are purely coincidental.
nicely done.
