62. it's a rip off regardless of whether it was released or ot. if it was commited to a cd for distribution, pharell should've got the right to reproduce it.

63. Pharrell definitely lifted the opening melody from Geggy Tah. You don't have to be a musician to hear the resemblence.
Pharrell needs to come clean on this one...

64. the chorus / hook pharrell sings (1:minute in)
and their guitar sample in the verses IS lifted
from geggy tahs "Whoever You Are" song released in '96.
pharrell ignoring geggy tahs inquiries into the matter
caused the suit to rise.

65. You guys really ARE uncool if you never heard of Geggy Tah. they ROCK!

66. Copyrighting your material is important. Because sometimes, things happen. Without passing judgment, it is common for more established artists to jack music from those who aren't yet on. It's thievery, but the game is vicious. Fight the good fight.

69. COME ON TMZ! You haven't heard of Geggy Tah? You should have asked the blonde skater guy that's in your office, the one that is obsessed with baby animals... he could school ya... Pharrell is not giving Geggy their props or cash.

BTW we think blonde guys baby animal obsession just makes him cuter!

71. Wow this is soooo obvious!!!! I don't even understand how some people can't hear this.

72. To the people who can't hear the similarity, skip directly to 0:47 of the Geggy Tah version and then to 1:05 of the Pharrell version (both sections start with the lyrics "All I wanna do". It's a carbon copy... melody, harmony, rhythm and arrangement.
