On the other hand, there’s a controversy going on right now. Orange and Lemons are being accused of ripping off — that is, copying the song from a British new wave band, The Care. I’ve stumbled upon this blog entry.

You can download the mp3’s of both songs below:
Pinoy Ako - Orange and Lemons
Chandelier - The Care

Download the files and evaluate for your self. Here’s mine.

Chord patterns - almost a copy
Drum beats - almost the same, the only difference is that The Care’s drum progression is new wavish — oh well, they’re a New Wave band.
Overall accompaniment - konti lang ang similarity. Orange and Lemon’s version is “accoustic” while The Care’s is, as I mentioned, New Wave.
Stanzas’ melodies - very similar.
Chorus - very different
Coda - similar
