In what may be the most criminal rip-off the year, Cascada's "San Francisco" deserves a big fat copyright infringement lawsuit as the song is almost thematically and melodically identical to Katy Perry's "California Gurls." If Cascada is thinking this song will not face scathing criticism for not only mimicking a song but one of the biggest global hits of 2010, then they've lost it.
This is not the first time the group has been accused of unintentionally recreating a big hit. Their 2009 hit single "Evacuate the Dance Floor" has drawn distinct comparisons to Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" and it seemed to have worked successfully. Fortunately for that song, the similarities were not too overwhelming to make it sound desperate - remember all songs in 2009 (much like now) seemed to revolve around dancing. However, a song about California from a German dance group that sounds exactly like another California song from a Golden Coast native seems outrageously desperate.
Listen to the track below and you decide:
