The Creaky Boards Accuse Coldplay of Ripping Them Off

[DudeAsInCool]

The Wired Blog reports there is a hot new controversy in the works. The Creaky Boards Andrew Hoepfner "accuses Chris Martin of stealing a song, after the Coldplay frontman may or may not have attended a performance by the Brooklyn band."

You can judge the situation yourself - check out this Youtube mash up which compares the Creaky Board's "The Songs I Didn't Write" and Coldplay's "Viva la Vida." Sound similar?

Saw that video the other day... chords are close, but it happens, right? Who knows?

Either way... Creaky Boards' song isn't half bad really... I smell a deal around the corner.

I think they sound pretty similar, but didn't that happen with.... someone and ... shit. Someone else. RHCP maybe? And the one who did the "original" didn't care.

Perhaps the reason the Creaky Boards care is because they're a little teeny band in comparison? Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps.

Perhaps.
