I went to the theatre to watch a movie last month, just a regular night out with my folks. Half way through the movie. a track played and that’s when it really hit me. I was listening to a song that’s ridiculously similar to Udd Gaye. I am pretty sure there are others like me, and in case you are wondering if I was somehow involved in the making of said song.”
