For me it's Hells bells tricking me into thinking it's Discovery by Daft Punk.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

For me its the David Guetta song instead of Blue by Eiffel 65
As a Gen Xer, for me it's when Ice Ice Baby fakes me out when I think it's going to be a Queen banger
For me, it's the other way around
[That meme with two hands clasping]
Not "for whom the Bell tolls" by Metallica?
It probably is and I'm misremembering.
Seeing the name automatically makes me think of the entirely different song with the same name by Elliott Smith.
It's so funny she didn't wanna release it properly but then it blew up through no real effort of her own years down the line and people kept asking her to do a proper version over and over. So she did what people wanted and now people won't stop giving her shit for it. You really can't win with the internet nowadays
I've seen so many people saying that the reason they hate it so much is cos it's overused on tiktok and stuff. Ok so...is that her fault? It's also funny that people complain she didn't do anything different with the instrumentation when the Gotye original's is him sampling a song from the 60s and actually making it far simpler and less interesting
the Gotye original's is him sampling a song from the 60s and actually making it far simpler and less interesting
So... its distinct from the sample origin and stands as its own thing? Which is what people have a problem with the new song not doing?
Yes but as I say he made it far simpler and less interesting. So it's not like he's gone on and done some great musicianship with it. It's as close to just doing the same thing whilst still doing something that's it's own thing as can be. People are acting like she's taken his instrumentation and ruined it or something when it isn't his, for the most part. And to make it clear I don't think either of those, what Gotye or Doechii did, is a bad thing inherently. I personally like both songs. I don't get why people are so up in arms at her about it
So it’s not like he’s gone on and done some great musicianship with it
This is kinda irrelevant? I mean that's sampling in general, of course there is no "musicianship" in it, they're playing someone else's music.
People are acting like she’s taken his instrumentation and ruined it or something when it isn’t his, for the most part
Not really, people are saying she's taken his sample, which she did, and made a derivative product which is self-evident from all the people who can't tell the two songs apart until she starts singing, which doesn't apply to the original as it's truly a sample and not the same as the rest of the song.
I personally like both songs. I don’t get why people are so up in arms at her about it
Because hers is unoriginal. Taking a song from the 60s, sampling it, and making something new is one thing. Taking a song built from a sample, and basically just remixing it with your own lyrics, is not as creative or original. That's the issue people take with it.
If you truly only take a sample from a song and build your own thing around it, people are a lot less up in arms about stealing music. See also Vanilla Ice and Under Pressure, where someone did not build enough of their own thing from a sample.
She simply fails the originality test.
Are you a hip-hop fan?

I enjoy both. 🤷
And bring shame to your family as a result.
Just kidding. Like what you like.
That’s ok they spent my entire childhood instilling shame in me. I’ve spent the last 20 years breaking free of that and liking what I like. :)
🫂
So it's a melody you used to know, huh
Had to look up the other song since I hadn't heard it yet. You're not kidding Doechii took the music and just inserted her lyrics. The whole song sounded like Somebody That I Used to Know with her doing bad karaoke.
I was gonna say "gotye heavily sampled Seville by Luiz Bonfá", but then i saw that she put in a fucking reference to gotye's music video in her own music video so.. yeah.. that's pretty fucking egregious..
it's not just you
I prefer Anxiety
Boooo
I just hear twinkle twinkle little star
As a Clash enjoyer, its lucky that Paper Planes by M.I.A is also a banger
Never heard it but.. it was enjoyable
Ice ice baby
Is no one gonna post a link? I'd never heard the song before. Anxiety by D whoever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riCP9x31Kuk
Uch.
It's hells bells and for whom the Bell tolls. If there's more than 2 bells, I know it's going to be AC/DC and immediately switch the station.
What was the story with that by the way? I mean it's not a sampling it's straight up the entirety of the other song with new lyrics. Did she get permission? Was there a lawsuit? I never heard.
Gotye sampled it to begin with, so he couldn't sue. He couldn't even make money off the original song for that reason, but he seems pretty chill about stuff like that.
Based on other comments, it sounds like Doechii wasn't trying to release Anxiety as its own song and just made it for fun, and then her fans kept requesting she record a real version of it.
So the story is that some people's hobby is just to hate things.
Gotye sampled Seville but it's definitely not the entirety of the song, the first part of Seville was wholesale copied and the rest taken heavy inspiration from.
You can absolutely hear that Somebody that i used to know is based on Seville, but you can also hear that they're clearly distinct songs.
My 10 year old had me hear this. Anxiety is an abomination to the original song.
Never heard of either of em.
me neither
This song is so bad.
I thought I was going insane, or the radio was playing some weird hackney version to get around copyright. (They have some cover or something of 'I'm Blue' and its tripping me up.)
I fucking hate Anxiety. Especially the shitty rap ending with 'quiet on the set'. Bitch, no-one was talking you attention hog.
So I was obsessively reading this manga about fish with legs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyo
And the bonus manga with the Steven Universe human sized holes in the sides of mountains. This was before Steven Universe as far as I'm aware.
spoiler
The holes were not from incubated crystal gems.
While my mom was listening to the earlier song OP's talking about on a loop while working out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY
So the two are linked in my head as if the song was used in a trailer for a movie adaption of the manga. It was a while ago, like summer of 2011, but that's what popped in my head the second I saw "Somebody I used to know".
It's weird how both songs have the same intro but the new one sounds relatable. Oh, after watching the full music video for the new one it seems that the new is clearly a homage to the original:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riCP9x31Kuk
That's cool. I'm glad they made it. They even have the people covered in the background art standing against the wall. =D
I don't get the hate, i think it's a pretty good song ! Better than somebody i used to know
Its fine to like it, but I can't agree that it's better. STUTK was never that much of a hit for me, but it feels more stylistically focused. To me the rhythm of the vocals and melody are a mismatch in Anxiety - I don't want to argue about this, as this is subjective taste stuff, Ive heard much worse too
