Applause knock-off

I was watching Dance Moms (:poot:) and Kendall was dancing to a song I recognised.

From the beat, to the theme (Applause) to even synth tracks on it (you can clearly hear the A-R-T-P-O-P melody near the end), it is nearly identical

The song is called Clap Your Hands by We3Kings, a music production company who make music for TV and film.

Firstly can some little detectives verify this came out after Applause (mess if it didn't :ladyhaha:).

I also don't understand, at all, how this can legally be used and how this company isn't being dragged to court, taylor swift style, and taken for everything they have.

Please help, I'm so confused :neyde:

If they make music for TV and film I'm sure they follow strict guidelines to avoid being sued. All those Youtubers make almost carbon copies of songs instrumentals when they're filming a parody.

Dance Moms usually will do a dance to a song and then play a different one over it, like Paige's solo Double Take had the song Boys Boys Boys but they put a different song over it so they don't have to pay the rights to it. I believe they actually did use the song Applause for this solo so they needed a song that fit it so just used that. I don't think the people who posted that song are making profit off of it hence why Dance Moms used it so that's probably why it's not a big deal I guess.

I think they do this because of copyright issues right? On the actual show they never use real songs. At least from what I remember.

Why does the singer's voice kind of remind me of a less annoying version of the "MAH PA PA PERFECT ILLUSION" singer??

I would believe so, but I'm surprised this is considered to be fair use, its not like this a parody like the ones on YouTube if anything this is worse
