Guest imseeker Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Jul 6, 2011 Lady Gaga rip-off ripped out NDP organisers did not have the rights to modify lyricsBy Jermyn Chow THE National Day Parade (NDP) organisers are in a bit of a fix after they modified the lyrics of a Lady Gaga hit to create a song about the parade's goodie bag. They performed the ditty, called the Fun Pack Song, once at last Saturday's rehearsal for the parade, and had planned to repeat it for the pre-parade segment on Aug 9. The clip of the performance of the song, which modifies the lyrics of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance, has gone viral and been panned by netizens on YouTube.Last night, the parade organisers said they had secured the public performance permit for a series of songs, including that hit. 'But we did not realise that the rights obtained did not include rights to modify the lyrics of the song. We are currently working to rectify this,' said the chairman of the NDP show segment, Colonel Ong Tze-Ch'in, in a statement last night. He did not specify the kind of rectification to be made, but it is understood that the Fun Pack Song will not be performed until a go-ahead is obtained from the publisher of the song and Lady Gaga's recording company. *facepalm*Read the full story in Wednesday's edition of The Straits Times.

This is a result of the government censoring and interfering with everything they can get their hands on , creativity being squashed by their lightning grip. I'll have Lady Gaga produce/direct/choreograph the musical numbers of our NDP any time if this is what we are going to get for future NDPs.

Guest imseeker Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 from Jakarta GlobeSingapore's Fun Pack Song 'may have flouted copyright laws'ORGANISERS of this year's Singapore National Day Parade (NDP) may have flouted copyright laws after they modified the lyrics of a Lady Gaga hit to create a song about its goodie bag, said lawyers yesterday.The Fun Pack Song rips off Lady Gaga's Bad Romance by using the tune but substituting lyrics that celebrate the items inside the pack such as Newater, biscuits and sweets.Mr Lam Chung Nian, an intellectual property lawyer, pointed out that the song has a few lines that duplicate the lyrics of Bad Romance.If the lyrics of the NDP version were completely different, issues of infringement would have been less clear, said Mr Lam, a partner at a local law firm.'In this case, they reproduced a couple of lines that remind people of and draw attention to the original lyrics,' he added.For instance, the lyrics 'you know that I want you, and you know that I need you' appear in both Bad Romance and the Fun Pack Song.The song was first performed at last Saturday's rehearsal of the parade at the floating platform in Marina Bay.There were plans to repeat it during rehearsals and on National Day on Aug 9.On Tuesday, the organisers had acknowledged that while they had permission to publicly perform Bad Romance, this did not include the go-ahead to modify the lyrics.Yesterday, they confirmed that they have shelved plans to perform the song until they get the go-ahead from music publishing firm Sony/ATV Music Publishing, which owns the rights to the score and lyrics, as well as Lady Gaga's record label, Interscope, which is represented by Universal Music here.Colonel Ong Tze-Ch'in, chairman of the NDP show segment, reiterated at a media briefing that his team is working to 'secure the rights to modify the lyrics'.Declining to give details of the negotiations with the other parties, he said: 'They have not gotten back to us yet.'Mr Lam said that in hammering out a deal, one of the key issues would likely be the popularity of Bad Romance.'Typically, the more iconic and popular a song, then more licence fees may have to be paid out,' he added.Bad Romance, from Lady Gaga's second album, was a worldwide hit.Mr Lam declined to specify an amount, though The Straits Times understands that it can go up to tens of thousands of dollars.Meanwhile, the YouTube video of the Fun Pack Song has garnered more than 87,000 views, with more than 200 likes and 5,000 dislikes.The ditty's lyricist, Mr Haresh Sharma, who scripted the NDP musical and three other songs, said he stands by his work. 'It's a tongue-in-cheek parody... I believe it's still fun and still works,' he said.He added: 'It's a song meant only to introduce items in the fun pack, nothing more, nothing less.'Lady Gaga is in Singapore to perform in an exclusive showcase for SingTel customers today. Her representatives could not be reached for comment yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icacius Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I can't believe they actually went ahead with it without securing the reproduction rights to change its lyrics of the song. Public Performance Right is an entirely different matter from the right to modify the lyrics of a song. This itself is a major infringement and I certainly hope the project gets shelved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know when we are going to truly have our own song - something with the "wow" factor and not too dicky lee tone.people copy everybody. who is original? is GAGA that original? GAGA obviously copied styles of Madonna, Blondie and Bruce springtein. her MVs has much influence from michael jackson and madonna. eve GAGA's mega smash Born This Way is so Madonna's Express Yourself. when Pop superstar Beynonce performed at Billboard Awards, her stage performance is a total copycat of a french artist. its good that singapore NDP can be 100% original, but do you have the budget and time? the funpack song is just an injection of something corny to the event. i think its an attempt to make a mockory to the valued of the funpack which is adored by many people for some lame reason. look at the comments posted here? there are even racist comments. and its just tame compared to what other sites have which basically call for the fall of the govt. should singaporeans not really lossen up and not be so uptight over a silly song? and also please know that there are many many singaporeans who are not as artistically inclined as so many artistic singaporeans who blast the fun pack song.originality? look at this year art's fest! many wonderfull original performances but attendance so low why? becos singaporeans always think CATS or anything by Andrew webber as ART and rest as boring. lol.
