sariflor Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Sooooooooo, since the new song "How much do you love me" was posted, I listened and listened and I had this little niggle in the back of my mind saying "it reminds me of something"...but I couldn't put my finger on it. Yes, of course -as everyone has said- it has an 80's sound, but I meant that it also reminded me of something else. And a few minutes ago I was singing it, and it just dawned on me: it reminds me of Boney M!!! I know that everyone is probably going to want to kill me, Mika included if he knew, because it sounds so mad, but I can't help but hearing it:blush-anim-cl: Any comments? Go on: Listen to it again and tell me that you can't hear Boney M??!! I must add that I love this song though, and I can't stop listening to it; Perhaps that is why I'm coming to all sorts of conclusions . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatagordinha Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 But which Boney M song Sari??? There are so many classics.

I knew them but I didn't know the name of the band actually ! But It doesn't sound like 'how much do you love me ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 No it doesn't, but Boney M are classic Personally I think HMDYLM sounds more like Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody: the chorus, that is. Someone pointed that out to me and now I can't stop comparing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violet_sky Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Ooooh, Boney M, a phenomenon! Sometimes (like right now) I think I was born too late, haha. But then again there's a time for everything, right? There's a Mika now to make up for so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Gatagordinha hit the nail on the head. It's Rivers of Babylon, just dawned on me reading through here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Rivers of Babylon... Yeah... Not a bad comparison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Come on! You can't be seriuos with this comparison! Why would it sound anything like Boney M? Which bit? I personally think it's an offence.. If you want to draw comparisons you might as well say the guitar bit at the beginning starts like U2's WTSHNN..... Of course a comparison to Fleetwood Mac's music (Everywhere) would be more appropriate, although I still keep my view that it is borrowing from George Michael (Waiting, Heal the Pain, Wham Freedom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love analysing songs but I can't get the Boney M thing..perhaps you could help me 'get it'?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love analysing songs but I can't get the Boney M thing..perhaps you could help me 'get it'?? I really don't know, it's just a "feeling" that Boney M give me, or some of their songs (I only really know a few of the more famous ones) and I got the same vibe listening to the new Mika one.....but the poblem is that I can't really elaborate on it because I don't get a clear "picture" in my head. Does that make any sense? Sorry I can't be of more help but it's just not coming out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks for being so open minded about it, knowing what you think of Boney M:naughty: I am aware that my opinion was very harsh, especially taking into consideration that when I am alone and they play Boney M on TV, I start singing and jumping around ... I don't hate them actually. For that formation the music was Ok but I cannot imagine Mika ever covering these songs..etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariposa Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 It doesn't remind me of Boney M either...The only thing I can say (and with which loads of people already came up) is that the dadadadada-part reminds me A LOT of AnnLee's "2 times"...That's all... Is there a particular Boney M song you think of??? Maybe I don't know the one you're talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I could see the Ann Lee thing very clearly too, but the problem is that I don't know which Boney M song I'm thinking of myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
