Mike Doughty gets his rock ganked

mike doughtyA MySpace bulletin from the unspeakably good Mike Doughty:
Subject: French lady ganks my rock!
Body: Listener Sigz, in France, hipped me to this. A French singer/songwriter named Maidi Roth has done, uh, I spose you could say a very faithful homage to "I Hear the Bells."

Check out this extremely ballsy song called "Aprés Toi".

Most of all, I have to say, I'm happy that somebody in France is listening.

Thanks Sigz!

In this day and age, you have to be out of your goddamn mind to lift a song that was on Grey's Anatomy of all shows (even my Mom knows this song) and not think anyone will notice. But Maidi Roth truly seems to have done exactly that.

Listen to "I Hear The Bells" at Mike Doughty's MySpace.

Then listen to "Aprés Toi" here.

Come on.

**UPDATE** So the song has now been disabled on Maidi Roth's MySpace page, but if you still haven't heard the ripoff, here's a YouTube video for it that will also probably be disabled soon:
