Deja Vu vs Cruel Summer = Olivia Rodrigo vs Taylor Swift
I have not listening both Deja Vu and Cruel Summer. But, I will.
Why? I am mid 30s closet lesbian bisexual that has many things to do. I do not want investing my time and feeling for something that I might be don't like. Likewise, I am neither of Taylor Swift fans or Olivia Rodrigo fans. I write on this Tumblr because I am annoying with Taylor Swift antics with her queer bait, grammygate, and also I have little crush to Dianna Agron.
The only song from Olivia Rodrigo that I have had listening is the hits Driver License. My take about Drive License, it's like Lana Del Ray songs. But more catchy and power.
(Frankly to say Lana Del Ray is bad performers. Lana better be just write songs. Lana has plenty potential as songwriter than performers)
So, I am commenting based on some article and wikipedia
In the wikipedia the Deja Vu songs was credited as
Songwriter(s)
Olivia Rodrigo
Dan Nigro
Taylor Swift
Jack Antonoff
St. Vincent
Cruel Summer
Song by Taylor Swift
Lyrics
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it
Bad, bad boy
Shiny toy with a price
You know that I bought it
Killing me slow, out the window
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more
And it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa, oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa oh
It's a cruel summer
With you
Hang your head low
In the glow of the vending machine
I'm not dying
You say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
We're not trying
So cut the headlights, summer's a knife
I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know
Oh, it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa, oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa, oh
It's a cruel summer
With you
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
And I screamed for whatever it's worth
"I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
He looks up grinning like a devil
It's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa, oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules, in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa, oh
It's a cruel summer
With you
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (h)
Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh)
And I screamed for whatever it's worth
"I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
deja vu
by Olivia Rodrigo
Car rides to Malibu
Strawberry ice cream
One spoon for two
And trading jackets
Laughing 'bout how small it looks on you
(Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha)
Watching reruns of Glee ==> Gaylor Swift Universe, Glee is always about Dianna, thou
Being annoying
Singing in harmony
I bet she's bragging
To all her friends, saying you're so unique, hmm
So when you gonna tell her
That we did that, too?
She thinks it's special
But it's all reused
That was our place, I found it first
I made the jokes you tell to her when she's with you
Do you get déjà vu when she's with you?
Do you get déjà vu? (Ah), hmm
Do you get déjà vu, huh?
Do you call her
Almost say my name?
'Cause let's be honest
We kinda do sound the same
Another actress
I hate to think that I was just your type
I'll bet that she knows Billy Joel
'Cause you played her "Uptown Girl"
You're singing it together
Now I bet you even tell her
How you love her
In between the chorus and the verse (ooh) (I love you)
So when you gonna tell her
That we did that, too?
She thinks it's special
But it's all reused
That was the show we talked about
Played you the song she's singing now when she's with you
Do you get déjà vu when she's with you?
Do you get déjà vu? Oh
Do you get déjà vu?
Strawberry ice cream in Malibu
Don't act like we didn't do that shit, too
You're trading jackets like we used to do
(Yeah, everything is all reused)
Play her piano, but she doesn't know (oh, oh)
That I was the one who taught you Billy Joel (oh)
A different girl now, but there's nothing new
(I know you get déjà vu)
Here my take as the outsider that has logical minds.
Olivia does not need to give songwriter credit to Taylor Swift and co (Jack Antonoff, St Vincent)
Taylor Swift and co do not entitle to anything Olivia wrote if the songs that Olivia wrote were totally different in every aspect from the lyrics and the way it performed like rhyme, chorus, and musical renditions.
Why?
Clearly Olivia wrote the lyrics differently, and I bet the rendition and way the songs performed also not the same.
You do not need to give credit for inspiration for anything's you create that 100% different from the product that you get inspired.
Ed Sheeran won a U.K. High Court copyright lawsuit over his 2017 hit song Shape of You. Judge ruled Ed, 31, had not plagiarized the work of another British performer, Sami Chokri, who accused Sheeran of stealing the melody from his 2015 song Oh Why. Yet, when you are listening the Reff part clearly like Oh Why Oh Why Oh Why and the way it sang almost identical, compare to Shake It Off songs. Then, if you go back to Deja Vu vs Cruel Summer, these two songs are not identical. Olivia do not need give credit for Taylor co for the songwriter.
(Even though, we know in Gaylor Swift Universe, Glee is always about Dianna. As jealous much Taylor listening her favorite muse entangle in another people songs. There is no bases for song writer credit. LOL. I am joking on this one.)
If Taylor and co insist on getting credit for Olivia songs, then Taylor obligate to admit that she is wrong about Shake It Off songs. Since the lyrics of her song clearly the same as song called “Playas Gon’ Play” by the group 3LW.
Also, if Taylor and co insist on getting credit for Olivia songs, then Taylor obligate to give credit to Dianna Agron. Taylor wrote bunch of songs that inspired from Dianna antics, characters, hobbies, behaviors.
