Do you think Kanye West ripped off the melody from the Gummy Bear Song?
There have been a few blogs mentioning Kanye West's song Love Lockdown having a melody that sounds just like the Gummy Bear Song found below. Was it just a coincidence?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

It may sound similar, but I doubt he ripped off the melody directly from this children's song. A lot of the melodies he creates or pulls from other tracks are very basic, like the "Gummy Bear Song." Afterwards, he will layer the song with a variety of other sounds to make it sound more dynamic. Most of the music you hear today are reproductions of other songs with slight deviations. In my opinion. Kanye's lyrics are sloppy and unthoughtful, and his beats are basic. His older stuff was way better. Sounds like he's just going along with the currents of the popular music business.
