Katrina and The Waves on Steroids

I spotted Auckland band The Raw Nerves debut single over at Undertheradar. My ears immediately picked-up their song ‘Steroids’ has an identical riff to the bubble-gum hit by Katrina and The Waves ‘Walking On Sunshine’ and so will yours. So go have a squizz, tweek about with these You Tubes below and you too can synchronise both tunes, one a cover of the hit, to sound all but identical. The bass and drums especially.

   

Go on tell me Pikachunes aren’t plagiarising Ultravox!

Master Pikachune is certainly young enough to be in the backseat of the family Holden listening to mum and dad’s tape of Ultravox/Visage as they drove to Nelson on Christmas hol’s, that’s for sure.

Sing after me…….

“One of these songs is not like the other, one of these songs is just the same”


Exhibit A:

 Exhibit B:

  

Some of us are old enough to remember this shit!

PS: Does the song title refer to the expected letter from Ultravox/Visage's lawyers?
