Musically in the same vein? Yes. Lyrically? No. Sample? No, and you need to get your terms right.

Hey Girl sounds inspired by it musically, but does not sample it in any way.

I think it is HEAVILY influenced by it. And if she wasn't such good friends with Elton, she would be receiving notice about a law suit asap.

It was my thought when i heard the snippet, it was clearly evident.

I'm a bit divided, is for this moments it would help if i had playlists, the song reminds me very much of George Benson (probably instrumentation) but i've heard this kind of accentuation in many Rythm and blues or funk songs, even rock more inffluenced by blues.

But that pedal note, that stomping effect.. that's too evident

She should just had sampled this

 

And everyone would smiled, but okay. For me that wasn't the problem, i liked the song. It was the synth went a bit downhill in some parts.

She needed a Quincy Jones on this one

Jesus, you couldn't have said this any nicer? :toofunny:

I can totally understand why someone might think it samples BatJ.

I think it definitely samples BATJ... Just listen to the bass line in each song - it's literally the same! I'M SO HERE FOR THESE  GLITTER ROCK VIBES :rockstar::music:
