Does Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” Sound Familiar? 🕊️🤔 #billieeilish #music

Why does this hit song sound so familiar?

People are noticing that Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” from her album “Hit Me Hard and Soft” sounds strangely familiar, but no one has been able to pinpoint why—until now!

In this video, we’re going to break down the similarities between “Birds of a Feather” and four other iconic songs, you might know some of them! First, we explore how it shares a melodic riff with Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl.” Then, we break down the similarities between “Birds Of A Feather” and Wham’s iconic holiday classic “Last Christmas” and the Marshmello & Jonas Brothers hit “Leave Before You Love Me.” Fun fact, they all share the exact same chord progression! But it doesn’t stop there! Billie Eilish’s track even has a striking resemblance to an older Croatian song, Oliver Dragojević & Gibonni’s “U ljubav vjere nemam.”

And for the final twist, we can’t help but notice a similarity to the Wii Sports title music! 🎮

Birds of a feather Wii should stick together 👭

[JosiahTheRoach]

The blend of Birds of a Feather and Last Christmas sounded heavenly

[Blablabla-hnfi]

Why does the Last Christmas X Birds of a Feather mashup go so hard omg??

[yugo]

I never expected Oliver Dragojević to be mentioned, the man is an icon over here. Peace from Croatia 🇭🇷

Thanks for the fact that you mentioned Oliver Dragojević's song, i was hearing it every time Birds of a Feather played.

[thatfaunguy]

I love that you mentioned that the reason they sound similar is due to commonly used chord progressions and not saying that one artist """stole""" from another

[coldasava]

Billie Eilish being linked to Wii Sports is actual insanity 💀

[coldasava]

No wonder Birds of a Feather sounds so nostalgic

[brazitbarba]

To me it also sounds like Keep Bleeding by Leona Lewis

[FroggyMolgora]

Unlike other actually stolen songs, birds really just is a pretty typical pop song and Billie and Finneas know that
It‘s like that for a reason (the lyrics, I won‘t go into it deeper though), just for the whole feeling of what the song is about. The chords, beat, this main melody that you can hear throughout the whole song and the melody she sings, especially in the chorus are all just those classic happy pop song elements

[BlinkTV]

The Croatian song is by the most similar omg 😭

[yeji.berrys]

This is like translating a word multiple times into different languages and seeing what you get at the end

[ssunghooned]

The fact that Birds of a feather is such a masterpiece and got to summon different songs lmao.

[USAStars]

Its giving "I hopped off a plane at LAX with my dream and my cardigan"

[curiouspersephone]

The jumpscare when Hollaback Girl started playing

[AdamArt]

I'm Croatian, and I confirm the song is familiar.

[Boboburpy]

Finnaly someone who knows Croatian songs from artists like Oliver Dragojevic and others

[emmabiuk]

Oliver Dragojević being mentioned?! As someone from Croatia it made me soo happy! He's a legend

[Dragodith]

For some reason, It always reminds me of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want To Have Fun".

Funny how some of his content directs towards saving ppl from a lawsuit and then some direct towards starting lawsuits 😂
