- There is a possible copyright infringement case over the National Day song "Count on Me, Singapore". The musician embroiled in the case said he is willing to pull the song off public platforms and request teachers to stop teaching it to students. The song was caught in a copyright tussle after a video of Indian students singing it started spreading on RUclips.

I propose we bring back this song as our 2021 National Day song! We would be even prouder of its meaning and appeal!
No. We shouldn’t show that we care enough about his plagiarism. Our song is strong enough.
Please lah.. We've been singing this song since our parents time...
Suddenly now have a "generous" trumpet player who taught this song to orphans in India??
And the lyrics lah.. omg... COINCIDENCE?!
Why give chance? Just sue for plagiarism.. We since young, in school if we're caught plagiarizing, confirm kena punishment... Why this trumpet player never kena anything... ?Somemore its OUR national song leh... Wth..?
He is blowing his own trumpet..more like blow cow..吹牛!
@@nanayue5388 Oh wow much funny
Obviously that Mendoza is guilty conscious. If he really compose and own the song he should stand firm. He's just scare to get sue. That's why he offer to pull off the song.
If he composed that song, I chop
@@poolfans not only u...whole Singapore can do it lol
Actually luckily it’s ang moh who wrote it.... Indians also scared ang moh lol
Why should a poor man stand firm?
Absolutely true. Such similarity is too good to be true
'You are my sunshine' sounds nothing like the song he was actually plagiarizing. Trying to weasel his way out of this one.
lol which makes this whole episode even funnier
Even if it's video call, you can spot tell-tale signs of weaseling bwahahahaha. IMHO, this guy could had travelled to Singapore during the NDP period and brought back this "INSPIRATION". Then only recently, contents from India started coming up which adds further suspicions. But it's nothing new. Look at their "Content-Creating" industry. You can find Mainstream Superheroes being used like no permission from Marvel or DC needed.
There are 150+ words in the song (tens of thousands of common English words to choose from for each of the 150+ words) and also there is the tone aspect. Our Toto is just choose 6 numbers from 49 numbers for each. It's way higher in probability to win Toto + Powerball + Mark Six + EuroMillions all combined together than having 2 songs to be 99% identical in lyrics/tone which Joey is claiming "these are all very common things that we use in English". Hugh Harrison said and I quote "Count on me Singapore did not exist prior to 1986 and was composed specifically for Singapore with input from Richard Tan of MCI, Brian Watson from McCann-Erickson, Jeremy Monteiro and numerous others."
Hahaha
haiya why bring toto here, broke my heart to think back that some dude told me that I have to find the correct 6 pin to access the promising treasure like bank account
Medonza guy already knew he is in trouble now...becos he said he is willing to pull off the songs. He is guilty!!!
Totally agree.. he is guilty and he is also a snake.. 1st of all, he claimed that this song was composed by him in 1983.. evidences were either burned or flushed away, witness passed on, and has yet to provide any other evidences to proof that this song was produced in 1983. Then the next claim he made was back then there were no internet, hence it was unlikely both songs were copied and made similar coincidently. Is he stupid or he thinks we r stupid? Additionally, he has yet to proof that he composed this song in 1983, the song could be copied in the later era.. and he said he is not interested to go court over dispute of copyright. Hello! How difficult it is to compose a song, and when u realized someone claimed ownership of a similar song that u had composed, dont u wan to persue the matter to ensure ur song was not copied? And lastly, he try to protect himself in case situation turns bad, he said he is not into money or fame, he is seeking peace and goodwill of Singapore bethren. At least one day when he was brought to justice, the court mention will be lenient to his claims
Fun fact: the Mendoza guy wrote “I knew you were trouble” pop song in 2009, 3 years before Taylor Swift, and supported by 250 orphans who mysteriously suffered amnesia after that. Now he knew he was trouble.
yes!!!
This guy has no integrity.
Joey should then sue Harrison for copyrights as he now claimed he composed the song 3 years before. Will he? nah... cos he knows full well he is cheating the world. Utter shame.
One billion people and cannot write their own song and need to steal from tiny Singapore. Shameful.
Its in their DNA to cheat !
Tiny Singapore cannot write a song makes a Canadian angmo to write national song LOL
@@sudipg3423 Ah, my favourite uneducated ass wiper. Do your research. There have been nearly 40 National Day songs written by Singaporeans. Or not. Comments like these make people glad that they at least have some common sense.

Srsly. Singapore song is crap. Who wants to even copycat our music? 😂
LOLLL

I don't believe the Mendoza guy. The sound direction of that song is obviously from a creator whom was western brought-up for a Westernized society like Singapore. The song itself sounds nothing like it originates from Indian Culture. The melody, the tempo the everything. It's like getting an European to say he composed and wrote "The Moon Represents My Heart" by Teresa Tng.
Not to mention some syllabus in the song for example "We going to show the world what Singapore can be" and replace it with "We going to show the world what India can be" India is a 2 syllabus word. It just doesn't fit in. LOL EXPOSED
can fit 3 syllables. India-Nah

apologies from the side of India I am so embarrassed- oh gosh- that teacher- oh my gosh why - I am so sorry 😔
I meant here in my country usa its Singapore is like a place non of them know because singapore is still not that well known tbh

Why wud India wanna copy our crappy song? There's like hundreds of other cool song like the Soviet Anthem for christ's sake. Just sing that one and everyone will approve. 😒
Singapore is a small country. But Canada is a HUGE country. He picked a fight with the wrong country - Canada.
Woah, Joey Mendoza's roti prata became even bigger with more fillings now. And even bring in 250 orphans, flood, common words in a song, you are my sunshine..... what's next? The more fictitious claims he adds in, the bigger the prata party will be. Sometimes, be smart, less is best. And how does 'you are my sunshine' help with the rhythm and lyrics of 'Count on me Singapore/ We can achieve Mother India'? Joey is a trumpet player but ultimately he is a big cannon fairy :)
cos he can only afford to bribe 250 orphans...
"Count on me, India
Count on me to give my best and more"
🙄 India doesn't even rhyme with more.
He sole the song coincide with the birth of Napster (peer-to-peer file sharing Internet software, MP3 files) in 1999. 😂
🤣🤣Well said!
Wow! Big Cannon Fairy!!! You've the best description of Joey Mendoza!!! LOL!
Hope Singapore government will do their part ...we citizen have no face ... this song is in my mind since I came out from NS and now I m 55 yrs
@Jorge De Guzman 😂😂
I proudly sang it when it came out in 1986 and it was one of my favorite song till...
James, yes indeed... Singaporean are proud every time it appear on the TV, National Day parade
Difficult Singapore primary maths questions also now appear in their websites. 5 years from now, no more edge in SG, everything openly learnt by them liao.
Bring him to Singapore as Foreign Talent - CECA. This guy has great talent in BS!!

This behavior of someone who cannot provide concrete proof and trying to walk the higher ground by coming across so gracious and "letting" us have the song..... This is so pui.
Shameless... Seriously...
Has been singing this song in the school hall back in the 90s, we have thousands of living proof
Joey Mandosa was the original composer for many songs including you are my sunshine, party rock anthem, rolling in the deep, unchained melody, candle in the wind, my heart will go on, staying alive, MACARENA , eye of the tiger, TRULY MADLY DEEPLY, the yellow ribbon around tree, barbie girl and 那些你很冒險的夢 back in 1983. It was witnessed by 250 orphans as living proof but unfortunately his original tapes got loss in the 2005 mumbai floods. He also founded an island below Johor in 1915, before some random white guy came about minding his business.
LoL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha
lol the indian fella try to defend himself when it's downright plagiarism....
I think its quite despicable and 'thick skinned' to steal one of another country's National songs. I can't imagine that anyone will do that without any qualms or embarrassment. If he is so sure he composed it first, he should fight the case. By 'chickening' out, he have already tell everyone he is guilty of theft. Singapore should proceed with suing him for copyright infringement and not let him get away with it. If not, others will do the same and just say 'oh sorry'.
More thick skinned when National Song of one country is written by a foreigner Canadian. If no one in the country can write a national song the country do not deserve one.
@@sudipg3423 Get your facts right. In the 1980s, Singapore commissioned advertising agency McCann-Erickson to compose songs for our National Day and Hugh Harrison was working for McCann-Erickson. Unfortunately we did not have Singaporeans working in that company talented enough to compose such beautiful songs. What is so "thick-skinned" about this and who the hell are you to tell us we do not deserve this??? The very fact that this Joey Mendoza stole this for India and claimed to be his own composition is utterly despicable to say the least. BTW, you sound like a CECA crap!
@@peterg7120 good answer. !
@@peterg7120 If you the judge to pass the judgement on who stole the song then I am your boss to tell you what you deserve and what you don't. because ad agency and the claimant is white Ang Mo so they cant steal right? it has to be brown Indian. typical racist attitude of Singaporeans. If Singapore has a problem with the song it can sue in Indian Court for copyright but that is how civilized countries work, a country full of racist people and medieval laws wont understand. If CECA is crap why did Singapore sign on it? Such are your dubious ways that as a country you sign an agreement and call it crap.
and to think there is traitors among us who defends these ‘thick skinned ‘ , hint to identify these defenders is to look at their usernames which is not surprising, explains their upbringing
If you like the song, can thank Harrison. If you hate the song can curse Mendoza. Win-win.
sue him in Court , fine him , make him pay to print full page apology letter in national newspaper for 1 week , ban him to Singapore . ( introduce a few Indian loan sharks to him in his country )
Can sue don't want to sue. But purposely sue own citizens.
Pulling the song off public platform is not enough. He must admit he has plagiarised our song. We have to nail him to a cross! It's so obvious that he's lying! MCCY and Harrison have to sue him or he will not buckle and admit his misdeed.
This is the type of people SG gives PR status to

The power of flipping...now there’s a real textbook example...
oml he really thought nobody would notice-
what is wrong with people 😭😭🤚
it’s like the “you can copy my homework but don’t make it obvious”
Now, that depends because some question only have specific answers to be correct. Example the Qns asks, "Where is Sung Nila Utama from?" and you write "Indonesia" same as your classmate. How? "Orrrrr Cher, he copy my answer...." LOLz. BUT, of course, if your friend answer "Palawan" and you write the same wrong answers for a few more Qns, hueyhueyhueyhuey....
Joseph Mendoza should sue Singapore MCCY if he feel he was wrongly accused of copyright songs and lyric. Otherwise he will be confirm plus chop as a liar.
He's a snake - he will twist and turn and say he won't sue because he's got big heart and let it go.
Lol the lawyer was trying to control his laughter at 03:03
LOLL YES
Yea man that is so hilarious
‘Count on me SingaPORE’
‘Count on me to give my best and MORE’
If you’re anywhere as intelligent as a slug, you’ll figure out which one sounds original and makes more sense. Every part of the lyrics has a pattern of rhymes. Changing Singapore to India clearly throws the rhymes off. I’m not even patriotic but this guy pisses me off.
soon they will claim 'Majulah Singapura' too

Give him 24 stroke of Cane

Fine 1k every words of the song
Who?
Try harder India, Singapore had this song in 1986! Write your own song don’t copy!
Accepting apology and move on is such a lazy stance especially when it is such an absurd thievery. This reflects the stands of the authority but definitely not the consent of the citizen.
Our MOM is very stringent with foreign workers EP, SP and eventually PR application to SIR. Shouldn’t they ( MOM & SIR ) re-scrutinized these EP and even those already PR Indians today. To check those that had swam through the nets of law. And they are now unfairly taking up high executive jobs living in bought Condos and bought HDB, not rental. What I meant are the cheaters with fake documents. Some Genuine ones are good to stay, but are they all necessary? That’s another question/topic. Local Uni degrees are not relevant and good enough compare to the Indians ones? Hope our Gov will give our home bred true blue patriotic Singaporean justice. Not being xenophobic. Still welcome necessary genuine FT to cover what we are truly lack of. It’s essential to stay competitive and being cosmopolitan.
you don't know they hire their own people? once in high position then all the kaki also same ....
Mr Joseph Mendoza, do we Singaporean look stupid to you? For the sake of right upbringing to the ophanage, please admit that u copied the song, apologize and move on, rather than covering ur lie with another lie.
Actually the song was invented by me in 1976, but I lost the documents. It’s amazing that 3 writers all have almost the same lyrics and tune! I was astonished when I heard my song in Singapore and in India!
Don't be surprise someone else will claim he/she also wrote that song and his pet dog ate it.
false claims everywhere

Now I know this popular 'singapore' national song was composed by a 'canadian'.
no shame in that he composed together with a Singaporean for the Singaporean govt :) better than someone else claiming credit and then SELLING the song to a catholic music publisher !
Show his picture to your kids if you want them to know the true meaning and fine example of a typical "fraudster"..
LOL the shamelessness of that guy pretending he wrote it.... He didn't even bother to change most of the lyrics. Laziest plagiarism I've ever seen.
Shameless person... he believed that he can pull this off given that singapore is a small country. The probability that the keys, notes and lyrics are 99% the same is almost impossible!
Shameless
there's why Spore got so many FT from India come to Spore for work and study.
Must stand up for motherland Singapore 👿
This is serious!
Bruhh,how many person using your account/channel?bot? I saw your comments so many times on RUclips comments section.anyway,bless you dude.
Singapore must have the guts to sue a foreigner from a much bigger powerful country.
Really thick skin and still not admitting his crime. Whole world must be made known.
It was literally word for word copy including the tune. With the exception of word changes to "INDIA". It's so obvious even the deaf can notice. To boot, it's one of our national songs. The audacity!
Washed away in the flood, how convenient.
How to trust a snake? 🤣
Singapore should send a very strong message to Joseph Mendoza that copy a national song is not right. This will deter people from stealing.
Scam calls, T-series and copyright of a national day song. Disappointing.
No ill will... As my encik would have said last time..."LJ understand!". We should sue him until pants drop!!!
Sue him. That's what we are good at.
If the fake composer is from the Opposition party, he might be sued until bankrupt. Apologies might not be accepted.
Sean that's a cheap shot!!!
@@johnchua1087 Cheap shot lah. For a while I was wondering what is the meaning
@@SuccessforLifester Apparently a typo error. Thanks for the correction.
Face is more important than $$$.. Mendoza has proven that and most Indians would have agreed too. It's in their culture. Shame on you Mendoza!
@SS 15 it's culture and in the Indian blood. Mendoza lied and could not show proof that he has the copyright to the song. This is an outright lie. To save face, he has to pull out all sorts of reason to defend his stand and when being challenged, he retreated. Typical Indian culture.
@SS 15 I may not know.. but with my dealings with Indians (numerous), this is the experience I get. No hard feelings.
@SS 15 haha.. not true.. but yup my comment could be harsh. I take back.. I believe not all Indians are not the typical Mendoza..
good bring on the racism!
@@shivashankar28 it's not racism but rather my personal encounter.
If no actions taken; many many infringers will just ...
Following a probe by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY), Indian composer Joseph Mendoza has admitted that he does not have evidence to prove that he wrote We Can Achieve. Mr Mendoza, according to MCCY, has also "unconditionally and irrevocably withdrawn any claims of whatsoever nature, directly or indirectly, with regard to the lyrics and tune of We Can Achieve, which is similar to the song".
One people, one nation, one Singapore.
While Malaysia 🇲🇾 "SAIDU MALAYSIA!!" "ONE MALAYSIA!!"
When it comes to copyright issues, good luck to you. It will take years to settle this and the winners until then? You guessed it, the lawyers. So this ah neh knows it's not a win win situation but fame is entirely a different matter altogether. Good luck Thambi!
Update: Thambi withdraw all claims and also apologizes but only because he cannot bring up the evidence to support his claims. Eh Ah neh, give up already la 🤣
back in the day during 80s and 90s national day song is the best.
Joseph should not do so. The song has many identical words in sequence with the national day song of singapore
Joey Mendoza has definitely copied 'Count On Me Singapore', and so is completely in the wrong. No one is denying that. However some people in the comment section are using this as an opportunity to be blatantly racist and xenophobic.
This is a moral issue, don't make it about race.
the idea if MORE people sang this song somewhere else, therefore it MUST be TRUE... Imagine 1.3 billion knows the song compared to the mere 4-5 million ppl in SG... XD
I am amazed at how the invective in these comments is directed at the whole country, for some charlatan's disingenuity. That's like blaming all Colombians for Escobar's deeds or all Chinese people for that one guy who cooked a bat to start this pandemic (it is happening in the U.S. and it is deplorable).
Well, unfortunately, the content copied is National Song to National Song. If it's Pop Song to National Song or Vice Versa, probably it won't be as bad as you described it.
@@andysng83 I don't think anyone is arguing against the importance of this matter. Also, from what I understand, this isn't the national song of India and no one that I know, has even heard of this person. With that out of the way, I still don't see how (or why - because alluding to the importance of the matter, is still a strawman in the present context) the comments have to be about an entire nation? The rhetoric appears racist to me. While I still maintain that the persecution of people of Chinese descent in the U.S. (for the panedmic) is totally unacceptable, it gives me pause when they have no qualms about doing this to others. Your thoughts?
@@Rookiez87x You will see this pattern all over CNA and StraitsTimes comments sections. Notice how the comments have long deviated from the issue at hand, and reduced to bigoted tropes like 'prata' 'coconut oil' 'rapists' etc. I know the demographic here is mostly boomers and middle-aged who feel the heat from competing with foreigners, but they are taking out their frustrations on AN ENTIRE RACE. Last century, it was Jews who were demonized by Nazis. Looks like History repeats itself.
@@ITIonoxide even if people were inconvenienced by competition and by extension, frustrated, it is counter productive (and illogical) to rail at the competitors over an unrelated issue. This is not very different from one athlete critisizing another for say, their stance against environmentalism, which is beyond the purview of the game. The simplest explanation points to the type of demographic that espouses and indulges in this kind of behavior, and that demographic does not need any impetus by way of skilled competition or academic supremacy. The explanation is that the call to populism (through any means) is often answered by the lowest, basest and most bigoted, à la the 2016 election when Donald Trump won through blue-collar support. I infer through this, that the local majority (educated, skilled and smart working professionals) may not be the ones indulging themselves here.
@@ITIonoxide Please don't play the victim card. Throughout the comment section, you keep bringing up China for God knows why when this is an issue between Singapore and India, not China and India. You also keep stating that it is in the DNA of Chinese to steal technology and IPs. Really showing your hypocrisy here. Looks like you too are taking out your frustrations on an entire race. Let's not forget how you also said that it's in a Chinese's DNA to start pandemics. Wow, I'm really impressed by how you tried to play the moral high ground in this comment section.
Ok lah. Sometimes when I am bathing in the toilet, I also can hear 'Singaporean' singing China national anthem ..
One of them must have telepathic ability!
It’s not telepathy, it was called Napster in 1999. The time when peer to peer MP3 files were born.

Instead of wasting time on this issue , why not we produce a vaccine instead

play as a victim n innocent.
saying that he is not looking for fame or money and he is willing to take it down if it pleases us? idk bout u but tat sounds like guilt tripping to me u obv stole our national day song admitting is better than taking it down im sure many other fellow singaporeans will agree
if u copy, get caught, say sorry, remove it, fine, whatever. u LIE when u get caught? at least have the guts to admit it when u hv the guts to straight up plagiarize the song

no❤️ this is only for Singapore 😃
Has any mathematician calculated the odds of both the lyrics and tune being coincidentally identical? I suspect the odds of unicorns existing will be higher. Obviously he plagiarised and sold the song sometime between 1986 & 1999.
Evidently, he sold the song in 1999 during Napster (peer-to-peer file sharing Internet software, MP3) hype. Makes you wonder, how he got the original song in the first place. 😆 3:24
It belongs to singapore. (Even singapore needed a canadian to compose their song)
lol so? we got money what.. rather get Canadian than another Indian copying another song lol.
He just guilty of getting caught hoping we'll gullible enough to believe him what he say I don't understand how could You Are My Sunshine. Doesn't even sound like the song Count on Me Singapore and I didn't even have the same lyrics
All can sing, you can sing and I can sing anything. Just trying their luck to sue Singapore for money. Don’t waste time on all this claims better to do something better to improve humanity.
being a copycat isn’t really a bad thing n just admit it, but claiming he was original means he is a very shameless person n he has embarrassed his nation india! india govt should take a stern action towards him so that it would be a strong deterrance to others in future!
well.... whats new?.... some people will lie with their eyes wide open and argue till the cows come home.
