Alejandro / Don't Turn Around

[River 128,350]

All this time people said that Gaga was inspired by Ace of Base's Don't Turn Around.. but it's not their song.

It's Tina Turner's song

I'm not even sure that Gaga even knows that.. but the "don't turn around" / "don't call my name" similarity is closer to Tina's version than to AoB's version in my option, it's still not a similar progression though, but has the same feel and vibe.

And wanna know who actually wrote the song... Albert Hammond and Diane Warren, our lesbian queen

I always thought it was a coincidence, especially since it's for such a brief bit.

I'm sure many other songs share those similarities... Or maybe I'm just a delulu stan and it's clearly "borrowed".

I genuinely don’t hear any similarity

I’ve just noticed that Don’t Call Tonight’s chorus is similar to this one. But this also sounds like Must’ve Been Love by Roxette in the chorus so maybe it’s that too.
