Copying a chant in K-pop ? Nooooo never !

[morgenderper.livejournal.com]

As I was listening to Exo-K/M's song Mama last week, I felt the chanting from the beginning was really familiar to me. Since I am a lazy fuck I didn't look for the original at first, then as I watched the MV for the first time it all came back, it was from this song from a crappy French movie !!!

And the "original" melody felt already familiar, as lydzi pointed it out here.

Copying a song that copies another song, not a problem in K-pop !

Waits for SME to claim to have brought the chant before hand.

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

Hah

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Don't Gregorian chants pretty much sound similar anyway, regardless of whatever the hell they're chanting?

[geureiseu.livejournal.com]

THIS. lol.

[x-undercover-x.livejournal.com]

lmao that song isn't even in a real language

[hangingover.livejournal.com]

i listened to it like 5 times and fail to hear the similarity aside from them both being a chant

[morgenderper.livejournal.com]

You must be an FT Island/CN Blue stan.

[siaht.livejournal.com]

If I gave a flying eff about EXO I'd probably have noticed as well, since I'm a big ERA fan.

sm finally chose something nice to copy! i loved the chants :3

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

every anti-christ/devil movie I have seen has a song that sounds like this

[devilstay.livejournal.com]

The only thing that perplexes me about the Exo chants, is how is it possible that they are saying 'mindless', and not 'motherless'. I mean...what? W/e copied, or not I really like.

[ss501pixie.livejournal.com]

I keep hearing motherless aswell,I guess SM doesn't realise mindless only has two syllables

[herocountry.livejournal.com]

that's just gregorian chanting...................

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

It just sounds like that chant in Super Junior's Superman.

eh meh whatever

[seines.livejournal.com]

fabulous gif

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

gregorian chants usually sound similar, some Kpop stans have no idea what plagiarism is.

[rosetta16.livejournal.com]

I was thinking the same, to busy hating to make any sense

[spread.livejournal.com]

It's still darksided & witchcraft.
Very ungodly & nottah christian..

LOL OMG frankie's twin?

[outlawed.livejournal.com]

Gregorian chants are pretty simular, unless you've trained your ears over many years to tell the small differences between the melodies. You have no idea how my latin songs I sang in school choir that all sounded the same. That being said, you have no idea how many times I've heard this particular chant in my choir music, as well as in movie trailers or soundtracks.

[outlawed.livejournal.com]

agreed

[taecish.livejournal.com]

the only solution for this is for them 2 disband

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

omg ia!

[xredada.livejournal.com]

I don't get it, apart from both chanting, the actual rhythm of the chant is very different?
