Old is New Again

I’m listening to my satellite radio and usually they are the first to play any ‘new’ hit songs and then about a month or so later the regular radio stations follow suit. I’m somewhat excited as they just announced that they were going to be playing three “brand new” songs back to back.

I prepare myself and turn the music up a little louder so I don’t miss anything. The first song they played was ‘Buzzin’; which is a complete and total rip off of an 80’s song called ‘I Can’t Wait’. Then the next “new” song to come on the radio was called ‘She Ain’t You’, which is clearly another rip off of a song released in the 90’s called ‘Right Here’. Then the last “new” song to be released was called ‘Alone’; which was a huge hit in the 80’s…this was a clear remake.

I have to tell you I am quite perturbed; because the radio is saying that these are new songs and clearly they aren’t. This is completely ridiculous!

It makes me wonder if we’ve run out of new and creative ideas. Or if what they say is true about this generation and them being lazy?? I guess I’m just curious as to why they can’t come up with their own music?
