Paris Hilton steals her music

Okay, so a couple of people sent it emails about the suspicious similarities between the first Paris Hilton single ‘Stars Are Blind’ and the UB40 song ‘Kingston Town’ from 1989. So I mashed together this little comparison, which you can hear here. It’s not exactly note for note, it sounds like they just laid down the track and turned up the volume, but there’s a very definite similarity. Be warned, the audio levels vary from song to song, and it’s a little annoying. I’m not exactly on the wheels of steel over here. I probably could have made this better but I got pretty tired of listening to it. I’d rather hear gunshots in a daycare than to ever hear her sing again.


Sexy new update – so Josh from the band Prefontaine – band MySpace here – layered both tracks on top of each other, changed the key a bit, and now it sounds like it’s pretty much the same song. In fact the first 20 seconds sound like it’s one song. The lyrics don’t line up of course, and the pitch is a bit off since he changed the key, but parts if it lay out perfectly. So what does this prove? Umm, that there’s nothing else going on today.
