Sounds like Human Race

Post by Thunderer »

The chorus of the song Stop Killing Time by the Greek band C:real has a very close resemblance to the melody of Human Race (Subtune 4) by a chap named Rob Hubbard, whom you might have heard of.

What's your opinion, coincidence, inspired by or just "borrowed".

You be the judge. Here's a snippet of a live performance of this song: http://youtube.com/watch?v=P5AKHTZULjQ Listen carefully around the 37 or 38 second mark, that's when the chorus starts. This is repeated at least 4 to 5 times throughout the whole song.

I couldn't find the credits anywhere, so I don't know who actually is credited as songwriter but I doubt Hubbard is mentioned. The album containing the song is called Killing Time and it was released in 2000, however I don't know which label.

Voice your opinion here.

Very similar, but I assume it's either a coincidence or an "unconscious theft".

Maybe one of the guys from the band used to play Human Race as a kid. ;-)
