Noticed some debate about the similarity of these songs here on the forums. I dont really post much.. but whenever theres a debate I usually make a mix and throw it past Joji and Panu.

For those curious about the Similarities between Space Boy, Space Invader, And Final Countdown, I picked out a few parts and threw them together.

I could have upped the Bass on Space Invader or otherwise mixed them, But I figured that keeping the originals was the best way to go.

Be sure ta thank Panu for hosting this!

Heh no need to thank me for such... But yeah, I still don't really think that Space Invader <--> Space Boy are all that similar. The only real difference I can always come up with is the "Gonna get you like a" -> "Gonna meet you like a"

But over all the songs are different.

...gotta agree with you there. eurobeat lyrics show redundant tendencies at times, but thats one of the fun parts. ...aside from similar sinthwork between Space boy and Final Countdown and similar backing guitars which are equally present in many Dave songs... [same for Matt Land] They're different. But still close.

I can repeat the same thing over and over in 20 different ways, wanna see?

Can you say that over again?
Could you repeat yourself?
What was that?
Once more, with feeling.
Say what!?
Didn't catch you the first time.
What do you mean by that?
Sorry, didn't hear you.
Pardon?
What did you want?
I don't get it.
Refresh my memory.
What did I wanna see?
You can repeat what now?
...

Well, that's fourteen, at least.

She's saying:

"This is a brand new song by Dave Rodgers. It doesn't sound anything like Space Boy. Or "The Final Countdown". I assure you that this is true. Now, listen to this song and be dazzled at it's uniqueness."

Personally I don't think the song sounds too much like Space Boy or Final Countdown either. Like I stated it has some elements of both, but uses them to show the old school style of Eurobeat mixed with some new elements, most noticably the middle eastern sound which sounds so amazing.

When I first listened to Space Invader...I was pissed off.

It's damn near identical to Space Boy. Granted, it's different enough to be considered a seperate song, but it's way too close for comfort.

Message to Dave Rodgers...

DO SOMETHING ****ING ORIGINAL!!! PLEASE!!!!

What are you people whining.. geez.
Space Invader and Space Boy are two totally different songs, and that's it. To Kaiju: Don't you think that Dave has already done something original, eh?
