NOW HOW CAN ANOTHER BAND BITE OR STEAL A SONG IF ITS NOT A BAND SIGNATURE SONG EXAMPLE
TXSU- played m4 at uapb and pv genesis fanfare too ( now thats 2 bands signature song am i right?) but the minute PV played '' careless whispers'' here come txsu ppl saying PV biting off them and got that idea from them 5 years later??
OR ANOTHER GSU PLAYING LOVE BALLED UAPB SAID GSU TOOK BUT GSU HAVE PLAYED IT BEFORE BUT DUE TO UAPB WAS KNOWN TO PLAY IT THATS HOW MOST PPL WILL TAKE IT.
NOW TXSU THIS IS NOT ABOUT YALL ITS IN GENERAL BUT I WAS USING THAT AS A GOOD EXAMPLE NOT PUSHING OR REACHING TOWARD TXSU AT ALL CUZ YALL ARE A SWAC TOP 5 BAND.
HOW DO YALL FEEL ABOUT OTHER PPL/BANDS SAYING THEY BITING OR STOLE A SONG

MORRISBROWN- SPOT LIGHT GROOVE
BCU- LETS GO
PV-GENSIS
GSU-ROCK THE HOUSE/GSU CHANT,SWAC

SCSU- get up for the bulldogs
FAMU- GET UP RATTLERS ( IS THAT THE NAME OF IT)

There are some songs that bands are traditionally KNOWN FOR playing, even though they don't have exclusive rights to them. As for TxSU and "Careless Whisper", I knew they played it before. But I had no idea that it was a traditional arrangement of theirs. But you can fault me for not really caring about the Ocean enough to bother finding out.
As for songs that a band just happens to play one year and be done with it, those are up for grabs...and if a people say that another band is biting because they played a song that nobody is really known for, then those people are talking just to hear themselves speak.
My problem comes however, when another band plays another band's trademark tune then has the nerve to say that it is superior to the band they got it from. I hate that!
I won't expect bands to redo songs like:
Get Ready
Entertainment Tonight
We Came to Play
Torture
Swamp
Those songs are well known songs that have been played by certain exclusive bands. I don't even have to put the name of the schools that play these songs, because those schools are THAT well known to play those songs. If other schools were to play those songs, then I would say that they were biting.
get ready MANY BANDS have played it too in the 80's and 90's and for torture i can name many bands who still play that its a good ass song. whats wrong with bands bringing back songs and ppl sying it wsa stolen

but both killed it doe if txsu had more tpets that yr omg
This has been a heated discussion amongst myself and some of my fellow bandsmen and here are the two sides:
one will say: "Band A is known for playing Song A. If we have never played it, why should we start playing it now?"
another side will say: "Its just a song. If you use this excuse, NO BAND WOULD PLAY ANY SONG!!"
Now, personally, I understand both sides, but i side with the first one more than anything. Of course you will have your seasonal songs, such as Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay, Party, etc. for this season.... and of course you are gonna have times where you mock the other band, like JSU playin Second Line against SU, or TxSU playing M4 back in 2004 against UAPB or Genesis in 05 against PV. Thats completely understandable AND adds a bit of fire to the battle.
BUT
If Band A wants to start playing something such as a SIGNATURE song, i DO NOT agree with that....songs like S.O.S., Nobody Does it Better, Say La La, Genesis, 20th Century Fanfare, etc....songs that basically have ANOTHER bands signature stamp on it, in today's technologically driven world its gonna get out really fast and be considered jockin. If a band played a song one year, and 5 years later somebody else wants to play it, i see no problem with it, as long as it ain't the same version, and SOME bands are known for doing that.....
I like how Bama State played "I got 5 on it" this year, but their version was unique enough to where nobody said "They bitin off of SU/JSU/UAPB".
So... if its a signature song, id stay away from playing it unless its at the signature band (and it better be a d@mn good version to do so). But songs that a band might have played x amount of years ago, as long as it ain't the same version, Go ahead
Actually SU played Get Ready way back in the 70's first J- State just made it a signature song for their band just like Gangsta Btch, and I got 5 on it, and You Can Hate Me Now. But it's cool I think it's a bigger insult when you don't do the song justice.
PVU's Genesis, Messiah
PB's M4
NSU's Behold
SU's fanfares
JSU's blowin
Gram's SWAC
These fanfares are composed by the respective band directors of these schools... NOW biting "signature" songs such as torture, swoop, swamp, ET, comes in when you Another band chooses to play the "SAME EXACT ARRANGEMENT"... that's stealing or biting.. IMO.. Our "Careless Whisper" was arranged from the Twilight movie.. Or in a more ignant term.... If there was any "biting" Goin on.. It was from Twilight/Seether...
alot of bands played five on it in 95 in their dance routines it was popular but many bands brung it back as a crowd favorite get ready tons of bands played it too this can be a on going debate as long as its not the same arrangement. hate me now 99 hell everyh hbcu played that and u right about the no justice lol if u gon play a song back make STATEMENT
