I've been sitting on this one for a long time. I have no idea if James Blunt has ever acknowledged the true source of his only hit's melody, but I know where he got it.
I submit for your comparing pleasure, "The Lonely Man Theme" from the 1980s television series, The Incredible Hulk and JB's sapfest, "You're Beautiful." Please note, the Hulk theme is a YouTube submission that has some Enya thrown in somewhere in the middle of the homemade montage, but you'll get the idea.
Hulk
James Blunt
Heck with the ripoff, what's with the strip tease???
ReplyDeleteIt's just a continuation of the ripoff. He tears his shirt off like he's the Incredible Hulk or something. You could say it's a ripoff in the most literal sense of the word.
ReplyDeleteGood post.
