    Um, the only thing ‘similar’ is the rhythm. Neither the Sugababes, nor ANYONE, OWNS that. That’s like saying you own a time signature. The lyrics and melody and the song itself sound NOTHING alike. Not even the themes of the songs.
    I can think of MANY pieces from the classical or Romantic era (that’s 18th and 19th century) that use that rhythm in the bass ..etc. Are the Sugababes going to claim those were plagarized too? They did not INVENT the beat.
    I am a composer, and that would be like saying ‘I wrote this song in 4/4 time, so I invented it and no one else is allowed to use it, and if they do, then they are plagarizing the beat from me.’ It’s ridiculous. You can’t plagarize a beat.
