You tell yourself you'll never write a blog post about Vanilla Ice. But then we all fall into the trap eventually.
Up until now the biggest rip-off in music history was Vanilla Ice straight-out stealing Ice, Ice Baby from Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie. Vanilla Ice was sued and lost, by the way. But there's a new thief in town.
The family was driving to the library last night and heard this song on the radio. I immediately recognized it as Lonely No More by Rob Thomas, but it's not. It's called Me and My Broken Heart by Rixton....whoever Rixton.....is...
Have a listen. They are even almost in the same key.
Here is Rob Thomas' song from 2009 (chorus at 0:42)
And here is Rixton's song from 2014 (chorus at 1:55)
Right? I'm gunna assume he'll being hearing fron Rob's lawyer shortly.

Wow. You totally called that one, that's amazing!
Yes! This has been driving me cra-zy. Glad I'm not the only who noticed! But I happen to love Rob Thomas so maybe I'm over sensitive.
TOTALLY!
Ahhh! I totally noticed that too! Can't people come up with original material anymore?!
I think that Rob's lawyer won't be getting involved any time soon… I believe Rob Thomas is a co-writer of the song.
I wonder if he got permission? You can pay the song writer for the rights to it I think.
It's on purpose: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_and_My_Broken_Heart
