I've got no issue with old Ronseal denying that he was influenced in any way by the programme's theme, or Tony Sherman's 1982 original. What I find irksome is that he didn't invest much time at all in listening to what is a stunning piece of music and dismissed the basis of the theory as "oh, it's the horns". Also, he would've been 11 years old, growing up in the UK, when the very popular and long-running Really Wild Show was first broadcast with this theme. Despite his irritating Atlantic accent, and unless he was raised a mormon, he would've heard this music. He also didn't comment on how frigging fantastic the production of the piece is (better than Uptown Funk) and the fact that it was used for a kids' show.
All I’ll say is that I was two years younger than him and born in the same country. The idea that he’d never watched The Really Wild Show in the late 80s/early 90s is so ridiculous as to be dismissed out of hand. It was on the tv every week, an hour after school finished and back then there were only two channels showing kids tv shows.
The dj makes a mistake calling it the “really really wild show” but when mark ronson says it later he correctly says “ the Really wild show”. Hmmm how did he know that I wonder?
I'd wondered if I was the only person who thought "that sounds like The Really Wild Show" when I heard "Uptown Funk"... apparently not. :-) I'd been ready to lay into Ronson's claim that he'd never heard it- I didn't see how someone within a few months of my age born in the UK *couldn't* have been aware of it. But to be fair, he apparently moved to the US in 1983, some time before the show started.
Every musician ever has borrowed themes and ideas from those who came before them. It really isn't a problem, and Uptown Funk is sufficiently different for it not to be an issue. Anyway, why worry? Just go and listen to ELLOVEE-EE because it's better.
Whether or not you believe him, there are ten other people listed as writers for Uptown Funk. If Ronson hadn't heard it, chances are one of them did. How the eff Sam Smith can be successfully sued because a portion of his most famous song had the same incredibly basic melody - so basic and so unremarkable that I'm still shocked that anyone could consider it protectable - as a Tom Petty hit, and nobody's suing now when the two tracks concerned in this video are markedly more similar than in the Smith/Petty case is beyond me.
Wow, no. Absolutely not. Stay With Me and I Won't Back Down distinctly share a melody line. The resemblance between ELLOVEE-EE by Tony Sherman and Uptown Funk is barely stylistic. Geez. Do your homework!
00:15sec the look of the lie Ronson is a proffesional sampler he did a ted conference about it then he is scared because he didnt cleared a sample bouhou First breakbot and now this pfff lolesque
Wow. You are cluelessly prone to clickbaity FM bullCr4p. This and Uptown Funk (I guess) have a somewhat similar style. No sampling at all. What's next? U2 should sue every Coldplay song?
Maybe he has heard it before. Doesn't change the fact that the resemblance is purely stylistic. No melodies, lyrics or chords in common AT ALL. I get why most of the comments fall for the clickbaity FM bullcr4p, though. Lack of actual musical perception.
The song is referred to as "The Really Wild Show" song, but it's actually just the beginning and end of the song ELLOVEE-EE by Tony Sherman.
LBJ comin' in clutch 2 years later. Thanks man.
Have you commented on every RUclips video,I was watching a video about bad Tower block design in London before this and you were there too.

'Don't sue me' - that's what what says to me
Haha! He was channeling Terry Nutkins all along! Loved the Really Wild Show!

Nutkins would be turning in his grave if he could hear Ronson so casually disrespect the really wild show
