Oooh! Thievery!

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that this is more than just a coincidence?

Lost Prophets - Burn Burn
Adamski - Killer

OK. Adamski isn't even in that video but I couldn't find a proper version. Also, if anyone could tell me how to embed other people's YouTube stuff here then that would be lovely. Cheers.

Well, the video's a blatant rip-off of Nirvana's iconic "Smells Like Teen Spirit", so it's no surprise that they ripped the song off Adamski...Most of their fans are probably too young to have heard of him anyhow...

That story wins!

To embed, go to the video you want - see the video? Look to the right of that; there should be a box with some text and underneath two text boxes - one labelled URL and another called Embed. Copy the text in the Embed box and paste it into your blog entry - voila!

You can do this then:

Do'h! How could I have missed that?

(Thanks for posting the Snickers ad too - I'd heard about that!)

Yeah this was pointed out at the time, there was a bit of a hoohaa about it all as someone 'accidentally' leaked the album 4 months before release. And they were torn apart for it on all the messageboards. At one point I was quite friendly with them & they seemed quite amused by the comparisons, they never said whether it was on purpose

However, I have a feeling Adamski was signed on a Sony label at one point, and Lost Prophets are on Sony. So it probably doesn't matter legally
