Glee - Have they ripped off Jonathan Coultons arrangement? You decide

Share on Reddit

Earlier this morning, nerd hero and singer Jonathan Coulton tweeted out that Fox’s choir club show Glee had ripped off his cover of Sir Mixalot’s Baby Got Back. I retweeted it because the similarities were too close to ignore.

But, on further listening, it appears that the show may have not just copied the arrangement of the song, which features Coulton’s trademark smooth melody and pacing. Coulton changed some of the lyrics to the song, saying ‘Johnny C’s in trouble’ instead of ‘Mix a lot’s in trouble’ in a later verse. Coulton says that he’s even hearing audio in the track that seems to indicate that parts of his recording may have been used.
