I rediscovered the old 2004 hit I Don't Wanna Know by Mario Winans while surfing Youtube, and I was like if this guy is so talented in writing a melody with such a great hook in it, why is it that I haven't heard any more of him since then?
And then I found out it was actually a copy of this song, Ready or Not by the Fugees.
Which was in itself a copy of this other song, Boudicea by Enya
So a song about an ancient British queen who burned down Roman-occupied London in ancient times eventually became a song about a cheating girlfriend.
Nothing inspires the creative music juices like a cheating hoe.
