"Flo Rida" is a massive hack. Check him out ripping off Dead or Alive's classic Spin Me Around.

Here he is ripping off Eiffel 65's not so classic, Blue.

What a shitload of fuck. As an aside, I can't believe how lame the video clip for Blue is. I remember taping that shit off Rage and loving it. Embedding was disabled, but check it out here.

I hardly think you can say he's "ripping off" those artists when they're listed in the writing credits.

This is true...one must aquire the rights to said song beforehand..

I don't care, he's still using other people's hooks to make his songs popular, which makes him a hack.

How about bands that completely rips off other bands? The band Airbourne sounds almost identical to AC/DC. All of their songs sound like AC/DC made them

I don't know how many of you are into modern rock but...

Godsmack - biggest ripoff band ever - had a song on their first album that sounded exactly like Alice in Chains' "I Know Somethin' (bout you).
Fuel - Totally stole the lyrics from Collective Soul's "Heavy" with the song "Falls on Me"
The chorus of Nickelsack (Nickelback)'s song "Photograph" sounds exactly like the song "Drift Away".. listen to the chorus... "Every memory of looking out the back door, I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor, It's hard to say it, time to say it..." etc and sing in your head "Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul · I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away..." did you catch that?

If I Could Fly by Joe Satriani

Viva La Vida by Coldplay

Satriani actually sued Coldplay for this

Yeah Viva la Vida is a rip off of about three songs. Can't remember what the other ones are though.

Wow, I never knew this many people who are popular right now ripped off of so many other people's songs. I sort of suspected Right Round the first time I heard it, but Viva La Vida... Dang, I'm going to have some fun telling some of the rap, hip-hop, and soft-rock obsessed dickheads at my school that Coldplay ripped off of some other songs.

God, even FloRida's name is a ripoff of a State in the US. He can't seem to make anything original.
