Given that I haven't watched Glee in two seasons or so, save for a YouTube clip of 2Cellos' guest appearance, it's probably weird how fascinated I am by the current Glee-related drama. But fascinated I am.
I am specifically talking about Glee ripping off Jonathan Coulton's cover of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back".
It's just so bizarre. Did they really think they were going to get away with plagiarizing a well-known musician whose fans include any number of music and tech geeks who can prove the theft? Especially when they didn't even bother to remove the line where JoCo actually names himself in the lyrics, OMG.
I mean it's even looking like they didn't even bother rerecording the arrangement, they just used his karaoke track, which is ... I mean there's lazy theft and then there's that.
What.
