Jazz?

My friend occasionally sends me songs he likes, and one time he sent me a song that nearly made me spit out my tea because it had 95% the exact same opening melody of a song I wrote, even down to the instruments. Unfortunately for me, their song was made first.

at least in the US copyright allows for identical but independent creations, inventions, etc, to not infringe on each other. There are actually multiple examples of identical inventions that happened simultaneously by 2 different inventors. Nicolai Tesla invented multiple things simultaneously with other inventors for example.

You said the retitling was your favorite part and then cut out the new words for Hotel California. "Welcome to the L.A. bed and breakfast"

I really felt this one, because I accidentally managed to write the melody for the Plants vs. Zombies Final Boss when trying to make my own music. I didn’t even know until my friend heard it, half-recognized it, and actively hunted it down within the next two minutes. Was funny as shit how fast he found it though.

Happens in classical music too. To some extent. You can hear snippets from Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals in Danse Macabre. Even Mozart plagiarized his own music on occasion.

A composer plagiarising their own idea? Isn’t plagiarism the theft of an idea? If Mozart composed music A and made music B which sounds the same, isn’t that just repetition and not plagiarism? I’m kinda confused on how this works ngl

this is why video game music is so much more liberating, more genre[s] to play with and your odds of running into something someone has done is much lower.

I wrote this really nice acoustic guitar riff that I planned to do something with, then I realized it could easily be considered a rip off of Wanted Dead or Alive by BonJovi. Mine involved more fingerpicking and isn’t exactly the same, and I could legally use it but when I realized I was in fact somehow influenced by that song (even though I don’t listen to) I lost my creative power in it. Stuff happens.

The worst part is when you play a song for a couple weeks, and then you change things up and then realize its something you know already 😂

The whole series he did comes from one video when he was messing around and accidently wrote the theme for The Office.

The intro to I Kissed A Girl has the same chord progression to one of the songs in my brother's high school band back in the day.

I've been following Daniel's channel for years and I finally see someone showing some recognition for his genius videos. Bravo.

Daniel thrasher has a video about adding a jazzy part to every song.

Loved the reaction! And yeah Daniel is hilarious here 😂 I'd love to see you react to the rest of the videos from this series of his!

Thanks so much for posting this!

Thanks for explaining how one identifies those music pieces, that was quite nice to common folk like me who know nothing about music :)

Him: You're just playing with chords.... Me: are those the opening chords for the legend of zelda theme?

I was messing around on the piano the other day (am a brand newbie) and I played this catchy 7-8 note tune, I kept repeating it then eventually wrote it down. I was so giddy that I had made up such a catchy cute tune until I flipped through an old piano book I had occasionally glanced at in the past and found that I had composed......the first notes of....Love me Tender by Elvis!!!😂 🤦🏻‍♀️

I love that you put in that Ed Sheeran quote. It's good to note as well that he said that in a video explaining how he was getting sued for supposedly plagerising another song with his "Shape of you" simply cause the chord progression in the chorus sounds similar.

Amazing video ever! Pretty interesting to see a pianist react to a Daniel Thrasher video!

"Pretend for a sec" 🤣🤣🤣

I feel you should be way bigger in the react space than it seems you are and i hope you get the recognition you deserve .

Daniel is soo funny but with you soo enjoyable keep up the good one day you will hit a million

My buddy came into my dorm room with his guitar excited. He had heard a song Ina dream which he then enthusiastically demonstrated. It was the theme to "the Heights" (talk to an angel) I watched the heartbreak in his eyes. lol

Greetings my friend Matthew!!....You are the right person to make this insane reaction video and give us your opinion about this insane singer...In 2017, the music world was shocked by the bursting onto the scene of a 22-year-old singer named Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed on the famous Chinese competition show for professional singers called “The Singer”... It was just it was necessary for this young man to make his first appearance, making a cover of one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse", to be considered from that moment on as the best singer in the entire planet....No one in the musical field had ever seen a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges above 7 octaves and several semitones, that is, all 88 keys of a digital piano, which reaches a little more than 7 octaves and as if that weren't enough, sing the more than 12 languages...Since then all kinds of experts (Vocal coachs, singers, musicians, analysts, singing teachers, youtubers, reactors, etc.) have dedicated themselves to reviewing their presentations to try to understand how someone can sing this way...The incredible thing is that that presentation in China was in 2017 but what Dimash has done in these 5 years is to further improve his wide vocal range, which is currently practically above of the 8 octaves... The Covid pandemic stopped his concerts worldwide, all with tickets sold in just seconds, via the internet, but at the same time it ended up catapulting him to the top of popularity worldwide...Anyway, since I think you are one of those reactors who have not yet met this impressive singer, here is the link of that presentation in China in 2017, with the song S.O.S. and I would like you to mention my name as the person who recommended him to you...You have to be prepared because your channel will explode with an avalanche of views, comments and new subscribers....I leave you one more recent video than the others, so it does not have the same number of views as the previous ones, which have millions of views, but it is a more complete video, with an intro, subtitles in several languages and with the improved quality of audio and sound....kzread.info/dash/bejne/lHiMlaihndy0kcY.html

Oh my gosh, the chords you randomly played around 3:50 immediately reminded me of If I Needed Someone by Nellie McKay!! 😂

Big Agree on including jazz solos in everything.

Agree with you on the jazz solos lol!!

I'm pretty sure its a combination skit bringing light to the fact that original music isn't as easy as people think it is as music has been around for centuries so people are bound to have something sound similar to something already created

I love that Daniel is doing a live tour.

Hello good sir. You are funny and entertaining. I sub. Another piano man added to my list. 👑

You should react to all of his accidentally writing songs it’s great.

You should react to part 2 of it

oh man! hotel california - you cut the best part! 😂😂😂

I thought I came up with a rare incidental riff… it was Time Spent in Los Angelos

You should totally react to another of his vids "When you learn a riff and put it in everything"

Ed Sheeran knows what's up, he had to pay royalties in a lot of the songs he wrote 🤣🤣🤣

That little part at the end of let it go is at the end of every episode of Everbody loves Raymond.

Daniel and Matt are the bestest!

You should react to the rest of these videos

Do the rest of them

A little more than 20 years ago a few friends and I got together once or twice a week to play just for fun. One night we made up this song in which we threw in a pseudo-Celtic-style break. We recorded it just to have 'cuz we thought it was kind of cool. A week later the guitarist showed up with a CD by a jazz guitarist - damned if I can remember who it was - that a friend had pulled out when he played our tune for him. It had a song with a break in the middle that was identical to ours; same key, same chords, same melody, same tempo and even the same instrumentation, including a bodhran. Initially we were a little pissed off, but pretty quickly all we could do was laugh.

Should include it in every song… lol has he seen the one where you finally learn a riff and put it everywhere? 😂😂

Copy 1 person, and you're a thief. Copy 10 people, and you're inspired. Copy 100 people, and you're original.

You cut your reaction to the best part! "Welcome to the LA Bed & Breakfast..."

I love the LA bed and breakfast. ^.^

Piano features in My music heavily, I love its sound however everything I do is purely bassed on feeling and random ideas as I have never bothered to learn how to play anyone else's music. To play someone else music this makes you a musician but not a composer and songwriter. I only play My own ideas.
