Saturday Flashback: Sia – Fire Meet Gasoline

“Are we running out of music, Tom?”

Tim: Are we running out of music, Tom?

Tom: No idea, but apparently I can’t remember nine-tenths of what we get through here, so you’re more likely to notice it than I am.

Tim: This got pushed out back in April, but somehow it never registered with me, and I think that’s because every time I’d have heard I’d have thought “Blimey, this Beyoncé track’s getting a lot of plays right now isn’t it?” Because at 1:09, sing along! “Everywhere I’m looking now, I’m surrounded by your embrace…”

Tom: And the rest does sound a bit like someone’s remixed Chandelier.

Tim: I’m sure it’s not deliberate, and I’m sure yesterday’s track’s Bay City Rollers similarity that you pointed out wasn’t deliberate, and I’m absolutely certain that part of the chorus on Jess Glynne’s track isn’t based on She’ll Be Coming Round The Mountain, but there it is. So are we just out of music now? I hope not, but the evidence suggests otherwise.
