Yet another artist comes forth to claim that Coldplay copied a melody for the song, "Viva La Vida." Hear both tracks in this clip and judge for yourself...


From Reuters:

"Singer-songwriter Cat Stevens agreed on Monday that the Coldplay song, "Viva La Vida," sounds like one of his 1973 songs, but he stopped short of saying he would sue for plagiarism.

"My son brought it to my attention and said: 'Doesn't that sound like 'Foreigner Suite?'" the musician, now known as Yusuf Islam, told Reuters.

"The song definitely sounds like it," he said of his song. "It has such logical chords and the melody has to be what it is..."

RALPHIE REWIND: New Guilty Pleasure

Download the mp3

My new guilty pleasure? The Justin Timberlake-produced reality game show "The Phone" on MTV. I've watched it the past two Sunday evenings, and although I'm usually not a fan of MTV "reality" shows - the various dynamics of this program intrigue me. Of course, the fast-paced nature of the show lends to the excitement, but I also think the team work/trust aspect of the show adds to it - along with the final challenge for the eventual winner - keep the $50,000, or split it with your teammate?

RALPHIE REWIND: snl-bit reaction...


Scranton once again came to the national forefront on Saturday night during a skit on NBC’s SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. While playing the role of Senator Joe Biden during a Vice Presidential Debate Skit, actor JASON SUDEIKIS called Scranton “a genetic cest pool” and “the absolute worst place on Earth.” The 40 second rant ended with “Wilmington, DE is not that much better.” (About 5 minutes in)

So which city is worse – Scranton or Wilmington? Leave it to 97 BHT's RALPHIE AVERSA and WSTW NIGHT SLAMMER RICKY THOMAS to find the answer, searching out people in The Mall at Steamtown food court and lighting up the phone lines in the process…
