Royksopp or Bobby Vinton?

[beweypm]

Is it me or is the Royksopp tune 'so easy' that accompanies the T Mobil ad with the baby the same as a Burt Bacharach song called Blue on Blue song by Bobby Vinton? To be fair I haven't heard 'so easy' all the way through but the little they pay is a direct copy to my ears.

Unable to provide an answer - but, like you, I definitely know this song from somewhere else, and it does sound like something Bacharach would have written... I'd love to find out..

Just had a listen to both and I reckon you're spot on bewey! Royksopp appear to have sampled the first two lines from Bobby Vinton's 'Blue on Blue'. Listen carefull to Royksopp and you'll hear the lines... "Blue on blue, heartache and heartache, Blue on blue now that we are through". The whole of 'so easy' isnt taken from 'blue on blue' (I dont reckon) but the song works well anyway! Well spotted bewey Andy
