Self control is from Raf. Braningsn is just a cover and the original from Raf is far better. Sandra literally copied a part of Self Control chorus, no ifs, no buts.
Clearly plagiarism...but Laura Brannigan gets a free pass, bc that song reminds me of my first girlfriend, Whitney, when I was 12 in 1984, so case settled.
Searched it to find if anyone is of the same opinion. Sandra's version came out in less than a year after Laura's.
Sandra copied the phrase "creature (s) of the night". It was sung exactly.
No doubt about it. Ooooohooohohoo ooh, oohhhooohooo, oh oh
Maria Magdelena was first different song but he lifted a few lyrics & a rift to make a new song...brannigans always was a cover of that version.!😉
What's odd is that Sandra should have done a full cover as she also covered other songs like Everlasting Love
Totally different besides the lyrics (creatures of the night)!
Maria Magdelena best among all three..
I know both songs and I don't see the pleasurism
I hear much "pleasurism"... pleasure to hear, that is...
No doubt. Sandra was just better but total copy.
CRAP

If it's plagiarism then where are the lawsuits??
Falacy

And it was a cover with even them credited as the song writers.
I think Raf actually wrote it for Laura.
Totally wrong.
If it is plagiarism so be it Sandra's hit song a millions times better !sorry I admire Laura's song top
