Jorlem Wrote:Ah, ok.damn, that is a good question. I know there are some songs where, when I hear the first few bars, I think of Weird Al's version before the original. Likewise whenever I happen to hear 'Ice Ice Baby' start, the song that comes to mind first is 'Under Pressure'.
On a related note, I'm sure this has come up before, but what happens with filksongs, and other songs that have the same instrumentation, but different lyrics? Would the first time that Doug hears the variant have the power for the original kick in as he mistakenly 'recognizes' it, until the lyrics begin, causing the power to stop? Also, from then on, would both songs have a decreased duration, as he would need to wait for the lyrics to be sure which song it is, instead of recognizing it from the instrumental part from the get-go?
