A few years ago, our colleague Tae wrote a post in which he pondered the sonic similarities between Glenn Frey's 'The One You Love,' and Taylor Dayne's 'Tell It To My Heart.' Although Tae may have thought he was taking crazy pills when he developed his self-described "crackpot theory," he was ultimately vindicated when some commenters on his post concurred with his musings.
In a similar vein, I am here to present another, quite possibly, eccentric hypothesis.
Has anybody else noticed how the choruses of Mariah Carey's 'Can't Let Go,' and Mandy Moore's 'Walk Me Home' sound nearly identical? Take a listen to the chorus of Mariah's song at the 1:04 mark in her video; then, listen to the chorus of Mandy's song at the 1:12 mark in her video. Although the tempos and tones of the two songs are distinct, the remaining similarities to my ear are uncanny.
Now, I have done some amateur sleuthing on the internet to see if anyone else shares this view, including other blogs and forums, and apparently I am on my own island with this theory. Is there anybody else out there who agrees with me?
