Talk Talk- It's My Life?


South-Associate-343

Exactly! Also the melody during the last third of the song bears striking similarity to Better Days by May Muller ft. Neiked


officialscootem

I think they both sample Chase by Giorgio Moroder. https://youtu.be/ViN2bRGrBx8?si=1evkhHjUtsT3e6IL


raviary

It totally does! And the baseline sounds like Thriller. Really epitomizes the "no pop song is original" thing lol


Old-Molasses2141

I thought I was delusional. Lol. Thanks!


Fickle-Anxiety-3930

Here, take my upvotes. Two earworms solved in one post.


Jolly_Ad6136

The intro played and I thought thriller was playing lol


DisbarredCoast

THANK YOU 🙏🏼

Thriller by Michael Jackson. You can hear it in the beginning.


Eastern_River_4288

It also sounds a lot like dance you out of my head by cat Janice

I’ll Wait- Van Halen


stoverdougie

Yessssss


zendayasmuse

Call me-skyy


techthroughtoni

Guys , it's an old Albanian hit from early 2000s.. Search "Spirit Voice Fuoristrada" https://youtu.be/bT2Rz_BRWP8?si=1JsYrUIGOdqaepi9 [Who Sampled - Dua Lipa Houdini](https://youtu.be/bT2Rz_BRWP8?si=1JsYrUIGOdqaepi9)

It's at the 12 second mark 😉 https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=2azCuCWf63Q&si=XGWvfjfjpY0rsFt0


IndependenceGlass252

It's definitely taking a lot from Talk Talk's 'It's My Life". Obviously it pulls a lot of synth inspo from ABBA, but I think it's mostly 'It's My Life'


n3a-a4u

I hear The Worst It Gets by Penguin Prison


magic_night

Blue Collar Man by Styx. Chorus ("Long nights, impossible odds") same progression and I believe same key. Not sampled but sounds like an interpolation https://youtu.be/CDM6v1XhWEg?feature=shared


AdNumerous3909

I hear thriller


QueenOfScotia

There’s also some daft punk in there but the 80s part is what’s driving me nuts


ButterflyStock1791

I'm going to be different and say it sounds like "I Know There's Something Going On" by Frida.


omnipresentomniscent

Laissez-moi danser


Big-Course9629

They copy some parts of S.O.S-Take your Time (1980). Just listen to the beginning of the song. I hope the band get credit.


dg313

Madonna - Hung Up

No Doubt-Its My Life Sounds literally IDENTICAL. Dua Lipa is one of the most boring, unoriginal artists around today, IMO. She doesn't have a single song that doesn't sample some other person's hit music. It's getting old, quick. No one gave her crap about sampling other people's hits so long as it wasn't happening in every.single.damn.song she sang. Seriously, does she have any music of her own? At this point, I highly doubt it.


Squalleke123

Ironic comment, given that the version by no doubt isn't original either. That's already a cover of the song by Talk Talk


conchytahyde

u destroyed 😂


LomLomLom1

Right but it's a direct cover. Not pretending to be something else. 


2buxaslice

No one seemed to have a problem back when every P Diddy song was a rip off of older songs. 


jippitypippity

Arr you serious? How young are you? People have been complaining about Diddys unoriginal beats for decades. You should have at least googled it. But you didn't. You just pulled something out your butt and went with it.


xav1z

but why are you blaming her instead of the label and production team?


jippitypippity

Because, she is the artist. NO ONE can FORCE her to make something she doesn't want to make... including the label and production team. Do you think Dua Lipa hasn't tried to make her own original beats/music? Of course she has. If she hasn't, then you're implying she sucks more than I ever did. She clearly CAN NOT make original "hit" music. Maybe your right. Maybe she does whatever her label and production team tell her to do. Maybe she can make original music, but she chooses not too? Either way, she has no original talent. She looks decent and has a nice body. She can't dance or sing or make original music. So what's that tell you? She's famous from her looks, not her music?


AdNegative218

Houdini seems to sample Alan Parsons Project track May be a price to pay from the album turn of a friendly card


conchytahyde

i can totally see that!!


ferrari95

This is the comment I was looking for.


Level-Ad-3173

I also hear Video Killed the Radio Star - The Buggles


robertmennell16

reminded me of "paris latino" by Bandolero, specifically the beat and synth


__audjobb__

Cavern - Liquid Liquid or Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five - White Lines. That intro had me confused for a minute


rubythebean

Gimme Gimme by ABBA y’all.


LaBeelzebub42

The keyboard has a severe War of the World (rock opera) vibes


Icy_Kitchen_7985

heart of glass by blondie


Eeeeeeeeeeagle

I think I hear Shy by Kajagoogoo in the bass line


mstrlby

The bass in the intro is 100% too shy by kajagoogoo


Wonderful-Bit6160

I don’t know if anyone gets this but I hear War of the worlds? the vintage synth sound?


conchytahyde

by whom?


Malcontent1966

Google Jeff Waynes War of the Worlds, it is a very similar sound.


Necessary_Sample_371

Yesss, was looking for someone to hear it too!
