Junior Eurovision entry samples Prince... twice

As you may or may not know, the Eurovision Song Contest is a competition where all European countries can submit songs which are then voted on by the rest of the European community. Now there's an insipid Junior version (I think its 15 and under), and Belarus' entry, Tantsui by Volha [please don't ask how I happened to be watching the show] samples "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic" (or it could actually be "Every Day is a Winding Road") several times and Prettyman during the bridge.

Oo-er. Looks like copyright infringement to me, if the songs have to be original, that is.

Listen to it here: http://www.junioreurovisi...sh/471.htm

This song contest did suffer from a lot of hassles regarding the originality of the songs...
reportedly there even was a song stolen from one country by another.

But hey, it is a song contest... crap music garantueed.

Hehe, just listened to the track. This is pretty funny. Is this a compliment for Prince or an insult? smile

Ha Ha Ha!!! That's a funny song. Well if Westlife can make it to No.1 in the UK, that song has a good chance...

Funny song lol...A typical euro songcontest song, the songs are never good or original but always funny. This is Camp. By the way, dont you think that language sounds like they playing a tape backwords? Maybe its prince himself with a hidden message, like he did on darling Nikki. smile

what a silly way of sampling btw. so pointless, I think the 'song' would be better of without...
Peace etc.

I think you are stretching it a bit to say this sounds like part of those 2 Rave songs...sound more like a toilet flushing to me.

This is the Rave Intro and the Pretty Man's riff. Strange but true !
