OMG something I just noticed....
« on: January 15, 2012, 08:41:05 PM »
Ok so I'm at this karaoke place and someone gets up to sing "it's raining men."

The beginning is VERY close to the end of In the Name of God.

Not saying it was ripped off or anything...I just can't stop laughing about it. Give it listen and sing the end of ITNOG over it. It's hilarious.

Obviously further proof that Dream Theater desperately attempts to secretly rewrite the past...but lets be honest, isn't this some past that could benefit from some rewriting.  Well played Dream Theater.

Just amazing.  DT should count their lucky stars that some of their fans are at this level of unconditional cult worship.

:lol I can sorta hear it. I would never have picked it up without having it pointed out though.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

The biggest difference is that ITNOG is in 6/8 and "its raining men" is in 4/4 but still.....it's pretty damn close.  And funny.

They really only have 3 notes in common (F -> G -> Ab).

I agree with you that it was a purposeful rewrite. Similarities in melody aside, look at the structure.

I don't understand why you're so opposed to this.  It's harmless fun.

The obvious answer is that I don't like anybody implying that DT ever did anything wrong.

Why not?  It's a great pop song.
