Ben Mulroney stole my song
Ok, first, I guess it's not quite my song, it's our song. But I kindof pushed the idea and did most of the lyrics.
During the explore program in vancouver, each class put on a performance at some point. Our class decided to do "Idol d'Explore". We had some judges, a host, and a few groups to sing songs and a few others to do a commercial (we actually had Jared play Jared on the subway commercial!). Anyways, got our group to be Les Gens Backstreet and sing "Je le veux ainsi" (Backstreet Boys, I want it that way).
Anyways, was thinking about it today, and look what I discovered?!:

Yeah, Canadian Idol host Ben Mulroney also happened to decide to take that song and translate it (even having the exact same title as we chose!). It looks like he may have sung it on the show sometime? (not like I've ever watched) A lot of the lyrics are creepily similar, though some are not, considering I think he's fluent, while we were just stumbling around.
Still, feels like he stole our song!
(also both being "idol" related is spooky)

How long ago did Ben do this? Maybe the person in your Explore program stole the idea from Ben?
I came up with the idea. Not sure if I'd even heard of Ben by that point.
Ben's post about it was dated about 1 year after we did it.
