Cat Stevens: Another Saturday Night

Doesn't anybody but me feel the song is more than 'slightly inspired' by Cat Stevens? I mean, the chord sequence and rhythm are pretty much the same. --Froth82 (talk) 12:25, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Might be notable if there had been a copyright dispute? Personally I don't see a huge similarity in either chord sequence or rhythm. The time signature for "Another Saturday Night" seems quite conventional. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:38, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... that the anti-apartheid anthem "Gimme Hope Jo'anna" was "bastardised" by being adapted as a yoghurt advert song called "Gimme Yop, Me Mama"? Source: Telegraph

Reviewed: Archie Miller-Bakewell

5x expanded by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 14:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Hi The C of E, review follows: more than 5x expansion from 4 July; article is appropriately cited inline and well written; I'm not massively familiar with music sourcing but from a spot check on the citations they appear to be reliable in their field; I didn't find any overly close paraphrasing in my spot check; Hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to the Telegraph (you might want to attribute the quote in the article though); a QPQ has been carried out. No problems here, I think - Dumelow (talk) 07:36, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Time signature

I think this song has a very distinctive time signature. Anyone know what it is? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:34, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
