I'm not Proclivities, but I get it.  And for all of you commenters running about shouting "plagiarism!" why don't you take the melody from Pictures of Matchstick Men, write some new lyrics that are truly relevant, work out a new orchestration, and toss in a little of your own inspiration, perform it mistake-free in a recording studio, ... and then you'll see why I think these guys demonstrate their talents this way.

Making music isn't easy — if it was, I wouldn't be an engineer — and placing the constraints of a familiar melody on your imagination probably makes it even harder.

As always, IMHO.

 
Yea & i certainly wouldn't pick engineering again if i had my time over. It's a rubbish job (well, it is if you have British 'management' anyway).

There are only four tunes in the universe - 'Knocking On Heavens Door', 'Sympathy For The Devil', 'House Of The Rising Sun' and 'Comfortably Numb'. everything else is one or other of them. Discuss.

Yes!!! It jumped out immediately. But because it's The Dandy Warhols it's absolutely OK. The benefits of being a band with an established sense of humor.

I was not shouting plagarism and only one or two times ever here have I suggested that.  I just hate the idiotic line "everything is derivative of everything else". Not sure if you meant me or not anyway.  Being derivative is not the same as plagarism and it is a valid criticism and something that should be avoided.

I understand the point. I get their schtick. I just don't care for it. Pop culture can and usually does inspire artists to embellish a style or genre...I just don't think its particularly interesting. Just my unpopular opinion.

There is a huge difference between a sound/style/mode that a group goes for, and a specific melody.  Melodies are not "derivative of everything else", as we hear repeated here on this board ad naseua - they exist apart from style, in their own sphere.  They can be appropriated, and it is unethical to do so.  There is nothing less interesting to me than "style", even though there are thousands of bands that litter the musical wasteland who go to market almost exclusively on style.  It keeps the musicologists in business, that corporate teaching factory.  My definition of a musicologist:  someone who lacks the talent to write a good melody.  Talent is the rarest thing in the world, when it comes to writing melodies.

Absolutely agree, they are entertaining but as a big music fan every time I hear a song of theirs I immediatley begin to hear the antecedents. Pictures of Matchstick men indeed...

It's a slightly different chord progression, though obviously strummed at the same tempo.  I guess it could be called an homage; it's not as if they were trying to fool anyone.

It's a complete rip off and Status Quo should get some kind of credit on the Dandy's album cover under the title "extreme influence by". All that aside, I went to see them in Dublin the night before last and they were really, really good. They played for two hours solid!

They've always been a short walk from a novelty band.  With this they've arrived, and seem to have purged that pesky creativity along the journey.

IMHO, Bill does an excellent job programming.

Sounds like you're at risk of becoming burned out.

Maybe you should take a listening break or pass sometime over on the LRC.

Just a friendly suggestion.

It's not just "the same chord progression" as Pictures of Matchstick Men — it's the EXACT SAME TUNE. I hope they gave a writing credit to the Status Quo.

Meanwhile, I'll be listening to my 45 of the original. Why, I must be a thousand years old!

No New Tale To Tell + Pictures of Matchstick Men = this song!

(Also, this is my first time hearing this on RP. Don't know where I've been. It's not like we have RP playing during all our waking hours or anything.)

Still like the tune, though, and this band.
 
Well, maybe not showing his age. Camper Van Beethoven did a killer and popular cover of "Pictures of Matchstick Men" just a few years ago. Then again, I'm old enough to recall the original...{#Propeller}

Isn't this cheating? I like Pictures of Matchstick Men better, if you can compare 2 different songs with the same chord progression.  But, I'll have to admit that this isn't bad and maybe it's ok to revisit songs that no one young is likely to have heard.

You don't have to be old to know that this song has the exact chord progression and feel as "Pictures of Matchstick Men."
