These songs are the same (also about things california)



So I decided to listen to some Cascada, and was playing some stuff I haven't previously heard from her. Well according to wikipedia, I'm (obviously) not the only one who immediately noticed (I'm just late as shit to the game).

"Composition and comparison to "California Gurls" "San Francisco" is an uptempo dance song which derives from the styles of electropop and electronica while backed by a grinding synth beat. The song also has influences from 1970s music. The song is set in common time, and has a moderate tempo of 126 beats per minute. It is written in the key of D ♯ minor and Horler's vocals span from E3-C#5. The song is lyrically an ode to San Francisco, California. The song's composition has received notability from critics for its similar composition to Katy Perry's song "California Gurls" (which in itself is also similar to Tik Tok by Kesha, which in turn has been criticized as being too similar to some tracks performed by Lady Gaga and Uffie). "San Francisco" is similar to "California Gurls" in its lyrics, as they both pay tribute to the California area and all the good fun that happens there. "San Francisco" and "California Gurls", according to Jon O'Brien of AllMusic Guide, contained the similar floaty synth hook and grinding beats." -wikipedia

Oh gawd, shut the hell up.

Here they are for you.
