Coldplay Plagarism Controversy

Hey-o!

So here's the latest controversy revolving around Coldplay's new song featured in the new Ipod commercial...

The band "Creaky Boards" claims that Coldplay plagiarized one of the group's songs. The lead singer says that Chris Martin saw his band perform last summer and used a melody from one of their songs for "Viva La Vida," the title track from the new Coldplay record.

Check out this video comparing the 2 songs...

Personally I think it's a stretch and don't hear what all the fuss is about, but what I find funny is the fact that the name of the Creak Board song is "The Songs I didn't Write" lol

Cheers!
