Hello all, Nice to hear from you again, Mikkel.
I will have to disagree with you on this one... There's no problem with it. Let's discuss it.
Although it is not a terribly original bass line, I think it would be wong to say it was plagiarising Mojo. I didn't say so, I only emphasized that there is a strong similarity between both songs, imho.
Sting's bass line is much busier than Mojos and I don't think the feeling of the two are comparable - Mojo's is also slower (I am listening to the original "Lady", not a remix). You're right, but you're only talking about the start of Modjo's song... if you listen carefully you can notice later what I mentioned.
That said, I don't particularly like the bass line in SYL - I hate it when he uses synth bass! Give me a good old Fender sound and I'm happy! I totally agree with you on this.
Take care and let's hope they're fooling around with us with this techmo remix as the new Sting stingle. And let's quote Martin, this is not a Sting song. This is Kipper and Sting is only singing!
