Homer Simpson v will.i.am + Usher

By Tangotiger, 02:47 PM

Love it:

In the most hilarious accusation of plagiarism ever, an intrepid YouTuber has compiled evidence that a portion of the Usher song ‘OMG’ was actually inspired by a Christmas carol penned by none other than—wait for it—Homer Simpson.

The yellow one’s festive song aired during the 14th season of ‘The Simpsons’ and goes like this: “Christmas in December/Wow wow wow/Gimme tons of presents/Now now now.”

Even better, though, is that the oh-so-sophisticated Usher lyrics sound like Homer could’ve written them too: “Honey got a booty like/Pow pow pow/Honey got some boobies like/Wow oh wow.”

For the record, will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas actually wrote the track.

What is more insulting: being accused of plagiarism, or being told your song sounds like something Homer Simpson could conceivably sing just as well?
