Favourite song that rips off 'Gloria' by Laura Branigan?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

Disco 2000 by Pulp for me.

Well we were born within an hour of each other.
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.
Your name is Deborah, De-bor-ah. It never suited you.
And they said that when we grew up, we'd get married
and never split up. Oh we never did it, although I often thought of it.

Oh Deborah, do you recall? Your house was very small
with wood-chip on the wall. When I came round to call
you didn't notice me at all, and I said: "Let's all meet up in the year 2000.
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
Be there two o'clock by the fountain down the road."
I never knew that you'd get married. I would be living
down here on my own on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

You were the first girl at school to get breasts and Martin said that
you were the best. Oh, the boys all loved you, but I was a mess.
I had to watch them try and get you undressed. We were friends and
that's as far as it went. I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
Oh, it meant nothing to you `cause you were so popular.

Oh Deborah, do you recall? Your house was very small
with wood-chip on the wall. When I came round to call
you didn't notice me at all, and I said: "Let's all meet up in the year 2000.
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown?
Be there two o'clock by the fountain down the road."
I never knew that you'd get married. I would be living
down here on my own on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

Do it, Oh yeah, Oh yeah. And now it's all over. You've paid your money
and you've taken your choice and I know we'll never meet again.
But Deborah, I just wanted you to know I remember every single thing.

Oh Deborah, do you recall? Your house was very small

Oh, what are you doing Sunday, baby?
Would you like to come and meet me, maybe?
You can even bring your baby. Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh..
What are you doing Sunday, baby?
Would you like to come and meet me, maybe?
You can even bring your baby. Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh..
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh

1. Good Lord (get it?)--I was thinking of that.

The music's almost exactly the same, as far as I remember. Now I need to go find my Pulp CD and listen to Common People. It reminds me of "slumming" Repukes.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

6. It is pretty much identical.

They had to pay the original writers.

[gratuitous]

2. Hands down, that song by "Them"

You know, with that lead singer who shouts a lot? G-L-O-R-I-A. It's sooooo transparent.

Yes, I'm kidding.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

3. Nah, it's that Patti Smith song, where she goes G-L-O-R-I-A.

Or is it U2?

4. "I Saw An X-ray of a Girl Passing Gas" - Butthole Surfers

It's tragic really...they totally stole her "indie cred" when they did that...:(

[Screaming Lord Byron]

5. They would, wouldn't they?

DAMN YOU TO HELL, GIBBY HAINES!
