Ho qualche dubbio su una presunta somiglianza,plagio o cover di un pezzo famosissimo dei Queen We Will Rock You ed un brano di Blondie intitolato Good Boys.

Su Wikipedia alla voce "Good Boys" è riportato:

The song credits Brian May of the British rock band Queen as a co-writer because Debbie Harry wanted to use lyrics that were similar to those of Queen's 1977 hit "We Will Rock You" for the rap section. Although the lyrics are not entirely identical, Queen threatened to sue,[citation needed] as was explained by Harry and fellow Blondie member Chris Stein on a VH1 special.[citation needed] The lyrics used in "Good Boys" were "You got me on your face / A big disgrace / Shakin' your feathers all over the place."

The lyrics from "We Will Rock You" are "You got mud on your face / A big disgrace / Kicking your can all over the place."



Su Wikipedia alla voce "We Will Rock You" è invece riportato:

Blondie's song Good Boys uses the line "You got me on your face/A big disgrace."



Riguardo la parte musicale,non vi è alcuna somiglianza,ho provato a confrontare i testi,ma non vedo questa papale somiglianza,forse dovuta alla mia poca conoscenza della lingua Inglese,allego brani ed i testi per un vostro parere.


1977

Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playin' in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo' face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Buddy you're a young man hard man
Shoutin' in the street gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on yo' face
You big disgrace
Wavin' your banner all over the place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you

Buddy you're an old man poor man
Pleadin' with your eyes gonna make you some peace some day

You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Somebody better put you back in your place

We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you



2003

Satellites are falling down tonight
I see you far away
I'm floating into this inescapable bliss

Changing light, I know the symptoms of
I got myself to blame
I'm needing you, I just don't care anymore

Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain

Fear of flight
I'm so afraid of heights
Why are you asking why
I'm walking but my feet are never touching the ground

Good boys never win
Good boys always follow
Good boys never win
They all fall away and you remain

Eyes wide in the middle of the night
Got more money than a body got right
Riding on the L 'til the sun comes up again

You got me on your face
A big disgrace
Shakin' your feathers all over the place
You woke face down on St. Marks Avenue

What a pity for you
