Kelly, Kelly, Kelly ...

So ... listen to Kelly Clarkson's new HOT SUMMER JAM!!1!, "Naked Eye," brought to us by Idolator.

Then check this out - Arcade Fire's "Rebellion (Lies)," from their 2004 album "Funeral."

New York Magazine kind of called Kelly out on this when they posted the song, but JESUS. CHRIST. She'd better have a good copyright lawyer.

I think it's a jam

recipe for kelly clarkson song: take cliched phrases about love, learning, 'lationships.  Add power vocals and synths. Layer with a tune pretty damn similar but not exaaaactly like an indie hit.  Slice. Serve.

Also, Luscious Jackson owns songs bout naked eyes.

You Say Party! We Say ... This is Kind of a Ripoff But We Like It Anyway.

OK, so check out this video from British Columbia's You Say Party! We Say Die! for the song "There is XXXX (Within My Heart)," which premiered earlier this week.

You Say Party! We Say Die! "There is XXXX (Within My Heart)" from the album XXXX. from Paper Bag Records on Vimeo.

Are you thinking, this is really great, but where have I heard it before?

That would be here -- Robin S's "Show Me Love," from 1993 (a.k.a. one of those ubiquitous early '90s one hit wonder dance jams that are indistinguishable from one another but all rock in their own way. See also: Snap!, Corona, La Bouche).

So, while that keyboard line is blatant thievery, YSP!WSD! are definitely high on my 2010 radar. The rest of the songs on their album "XXXX" (sensing a theme?), which was released earlier this month, are equally hooky but less derivative.

You Say Party! were tapped to play two shows at the Olympics this week, as a warmup for their March tour. Dates after the jump.
