Lily Allen's song '22' is a total rip-off of Paul McCartney's 'Another Day!' |
|
Storywise.
Phew! Glad to get that off my chest!
(Generally, you would have to be under the age of thirty to even know who Lily Allen is, so if you don't, don't worry about it)
22 Songwriters: Allen, Lily; Kurstin, Gregory;
When she was 22 the future looked bright But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night I see that look in her face, she's got that look in her eye She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why
It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say 'Til the man of her dreams comes along Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder It seems so unlikely in this day and age
She's got an alright job but it's not a career Whenever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears 'Cause all she wants is a boyfriend, she gets one night stands She's thinking how did I get here, I'm doing all that I can
It's sad but it's true how society says her life is already over There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say 'Til the man of her dreams comes along Picks her up and puts her over his shoulder It seems so unlikely in this day and age

Another Day lyrics: Songwriter: Paul McCartney
Ev'ry day she takes a morning bath She wets her hair wraps a tow'l around her As she's heading for the bedroom chair. It's just another day. Slipping into stockings stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat (Last only) Ah it's just another day.
At the office where the papers grow She takes a break drinls another coffee And she finds it hard to stay awake It's just another day.
Du du du du du It's just another day. Du du du du du It's just another day So sad so sad Sometimes she feels. So sad alone in her apartment She'd dwell. Till the man of her dreams Comes to break the spell. Ah stay don't stand around And he comes and he stays But he leaves the next day. Sometimes she feels So sad so sad.
As she posts another letter To the sound of five. People gather round her And she finds it hard to stay alive. It's just another day.
Du du du ...

1. Meh. It's similar at best, thematically. |
|
I highly doubt Lily Allen is trolling forgotten Paul McCartney solo work for song ideas. I mean, come on, how many songs have basically the same storyline as other songs? It's not like rock music is rife with originality, aside from some exceptions.

3. Me too. I'll admit I like a lot of Paul's post-Beatle work n/t |
