I want my nickel back

I heard this amusing story on NPR in January but forgot to follow up with a post. They call it "How You Remind Me Of Someday". For the record (pun somewhat intended), I think the NPR reporter indulges this kid's theories a bit much -- there's no "fraud" going on here, at least not technically. Yeah, they're pretty much the same chord progression, same rhythm and tempo, and similar arrangements; however, the vocal melody lines are obviously different. But I agree that both of them totally suck.
