Why don't I know these things?

So, you know how that song "Cupid's Chokehold" by Gym Class Heroes rocks my socks? Yeah.

Anyhow, Jen has been driving herself crazy because parts of it sounded familiar to her. So she went and figured it out.
Maybe you've noticed this as well? How the beat and some of the words are familiar?
Especially when Patrick Stump (you know, that guy from Fall Out Boy?) sings "Take a look at my girlfriend / She's the only one I got"?

It would be familiar because they sample the song "Breakfast in America" by Supertramp. Very weird.

DUH! i knew that the first time I heard it. People are real fond of using parts of old songs. Fergie did it on her new album

Well, I'm not so bright. *g*
Also, I had never heard the original song before, though I could sort of guess that it was from something else as it didn't quite sound like it belonged in a hip-hop-ish song.

No one cares about Fergie. Really.

Love you anyway.
