Do you hear similarities between Lady Gaga's "Born this Way" and Madonna's "Express Yourself"

Definite similarities but all pop sounds similar to me so I have little credibility. Nuke the Swiss and steal their gold!

There's another possibility, that the song was intentionally recorded to sound like "Express Yourself" in order to generate controversy and sell more records. Or more likely, that someone realized the connection late in production, and so the song was re-mixed to emphasize that similarity for the same reason. There is a clear sameness to the songs -- I've never been a big fan of Madonna, but I'm confident that even I would have recognized it if I had heard "Born This Way" by itself. I do not buy that this is coincidental, that the producers didn't at a minimum recognize the similarity if not engineer it.

Lady Gaga is definitely no GG Allin, either.
...Sorry to drag you into a Rock Block in-joke, Jackie. :-)

The similarities are apparently in the lyrics only. That probably happens a lot, though.

Fun song. Supposedly Gaga relented and it's all a mix-up by her people.

There's one more difference between Rebecca Black and the Beatles: Today's teenagers have heard of Rebecca Black. (link)

Nice! The head/body mismatch is reminiscent of Marilyn Manson, but you get used to it quick. Reminds me of Nick Swardson's skit.
