I found this obscure Disco hit from the 70's, and I gotta say.....it's FAMILIAR..... la la la. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi7gpmtzs6I&feature=youtu.be&t=2m18sLA FLAVOUR - Mandolay Tell me if I'm crazy or not. I searched for the word "Mandolay" on all the message boards here, and not one single hit. They obviously changed some of the ends of the phrases to go up and not down, but still... |

Wow. I don't remember this song AT ALL. It said in the comments for the Youtube video that it was a huge hit. Maybe because I never went to discos???
I don't hear the connection with the MST3K Love Theme when I listen to it, personally.

Make sure you go to 2min and 18secs in.
It's the EXACT cadence of the MST3K lyrics.

It is very similar, but not enough to believe that Charlie Erickson and Joel had it bouncing around in their heads when they composed the Love Theme. Not necessarily: It's a catchy cadence, so it is possible it was, consciously or subconsciously, embedded in their memories, but it is also possible that they happened upon it simply because it sounds good. I.e. because it is a likeable cadence, people will arrange it and like it. It's a simple, “organic” rhythm.
As I was listening to it, I was certain that I've heard that pattern in other songs, too. That's why I don't think the resemblence of that one portion is enough to conclude that it was the basis for Love Theme.
That's the thing with music: if our brains like it, then we'll make it.

I think the main 'similarity' is both songs have singers that aren't very good singers and so are doing that kind of talk-to-sing thing that non-singers do.
