Melbourne
(ANI):
R
and
B
king
Usher
is
once
again
facing
plagiarism
allegations.
And
this
time
he
is
accused
of
ripping
off
a
cartoon.
According
to
DJs
in
the
US,
the
similarities
between
Usher's
song
OMG
and
a
Christmas
Carol
sung
by
Homer
Simpson
are
too
great
to
ignore
and
have
created
a
mash-up
of
the
two
songs
to
expose
the
alleged
plagiarism.
Usher's
song,
which
features
will.i.am
from
the
Black
Eyed
Peas,
includes
the
lyrics:
"Honey
got
a
booty
like
pow,
pow,
pow.
Honey
got
some
boobies
like
wow,
oh
wow." The
lyrics
in
Homer
Simpson''s
song,
featured
in
the
2003
episode
Dude,
Where's
My
Ranch?,
go:
"Christmas
in
December,
wow
wow
wow.
Give
me
tons
of
presents,
now
now
now....
Gossip
sites
and
fan
forums
are
buzzing
over
the
allegations.
"
I
bet
Usher
has
more
important
stuff
to
do
then
watch
a
seven
year
old
Simpsons
episode
and
think.
“That"d
be
a
great
song!"
News.com.au
quoted
Usher
fans
as
writing
on
Entertainment
Weekly
website.
It's
not
the
first
time
Usher
has
faced
plagiarism
allegations.
Last
month,
Wadena
Pyatt
accused
the
R&B
singer
and
his
collaborator
Alicia
Keys
of
stealing
her
song
Caught
Up
and
is
seeking
damages.
