Lol, srsly? That's from Fiddler?

Lol.

that's why she wears the pirate outfit cuz she's pirating it.

teh cool

Gwen Stefani has sold her soul to the devil!

lol i never knew that came from fiddler

good find, you win!

Yeah, Gwen Stefani's song pretty much a sped up version of the original from Fiddler on the Roof. There's even a bonus feature on the Spider-Man 2 DVD that has Alfred Molina, who was rehearsing for Fiddler on the Roof, singing that song in full Doc Ock ou

dont forget the song she stole from notorious b i g

indeed indeed INDEEED!!!!

not sure i understand. does gwen whoever have a song that has copied fiddler on the roof? if so, how could so many of you not have known it was from fiddler on the roof?

everyone go out and buy tragic kingdom to remind you how great she was and how much she sucks now. then come back and 5 this

Should have made the animation faster

TRADITIOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Duh. Maybe if y'all didn't spend so much time on teh intarwebs, you would have been exposed to a little more culture by now.

fiddler

fiddler ftw

I like the jig he does in the barn...

A fiddler on the roof. Sounds crazy, no?

Solid. I'm pretty sure he's stolen other songs too, but I can't think of any of the top of my head.

oh, i see now, it was used on that caesar rich girl ytmnd, ok i'll 5 this cuz of the dumb bitch who can't come up with original songs

I'm still shocked, though, that some of you didn't know it was from Fiddler on the Roof. lydja86 is right, you guys need more culture.

YAY! Fiddler on the roof is leet.

THANK YOU! Since I first heard that bastardization it's bugged the sh*t out of me.

People need to buff up on the classics. And gwen needs to buff up on the meaning of talent.

TEVYE

more boobies

You have NOW Officially! Crossed, the line!

so very true. 5'd

a cover's a cover...but whatever happened to ska? THANKS FOR RUINING A GOOD BAND GWEN

How is that stealing

rappers steal everything including shoes

Thank god someone noticed this. I hate it when music gets ripped off by pop stars. The original is a classic and gwen deserves to be put in a jewish concentration camp for her blasphemy. Fiddler on the roof = original awesomeness.

In our little town of Anatevka, you might say every one of us is a fiddler on the roof, trying to scratch out a simple tune.

Harry Goz aka Captain Murphy in Sealab 2021 starred on Broadway as Tevye for 3 years in the mid 60's in Fiddler. He was said to be the greatest singing Tevye ever to appear on the stage. This is for you Goz.

^^ this reply: most history in one sitting found on ytmnd.

Dr. Dre samples songs! AND THEN MAKES A NEW SONG OUT OF IT! OMG!!! I've never heard of this before!

OMG SECRET NAZI JOO!

damnit, I was gonna make this!! you beat me to it!! XD!!!!!!!!!!!

The part she added was actually level 3-3 from Totally Rad! So ha!

If I were a richman yaba-di-bi-di-bi-di-bi-di-bi-dum All day long I'd bidi-bidi-bum If I were a wealthy man AYE!

This is my first Top 15. Thanks everyone. :-)

"There's even a bonus feature on the Spider-Man 2 DVD that has Alfred Molina, who was rehearsing for Fiddler on the Roof, singing that song in full Doc Ock" Holy sh*t. I have to go watch that right now.

How is it possible that so many people don't know this?! 5'ed for assisting the exposure of the pirated crap music that is Pop.

lol, thief

lawl new bauman

5 for expose'd

also cocks.

OWNED!!!!

If I were a rich man! I loved the fiddler one. 5'D

I knew about that, all pop is pathetic theivery.

song is teh cool

It's jsut a cover. People do it constantly. I'm sure she had permission. Either way, her music sucks now.

you win a 5

belongs higher on top 15

ok?

Wow.

5'd! Now, I will be like all the other pompous asses here and pretend I knew this song came from 'Fiddler' way before you did!

Gwen sux now. She was cool before she ditched her band and went into cheap pop music.

+5 for a flashing Jew. -2 for nobody really should give a sh*t. HAND.

Cute. Being familiar with Fiddler on the Roof, it's old news to me, though.

i get it.. i just dont think its that funny

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed it

God damnit.

Definite 5! I remember seeing the movie for Fiddler on the Roof (and to be even more obscure the Animaniacs reference using the Goodfeathers for the short 'Chicken on the Roof') back in Middle School.

wow man, I was planning to make this for a long time now. 5 for Fiddler

Finally somebody puts a picture to something I've been thinking for a while. Pretty much all of her songs rip off something from somebody else.

1'd because not only Bauman, but her as well, deserve to jack whatever they want from WHOEVER they want and not have consequences.

OMG Iknew it !!!

Heh.

I don't care as long as she's wearing close to nothing. LOL, really.

bdidididididbidididbid bum!

Stefanie sucks. But I didn't need a ytmnd to show me that.

THIS MY sh*t, THIS MY sh*t

Fiddler on the Roof > Gwen. But we already knew that/knew the original song. Well.. some of us.

OMG SECRET JEW SONG

anorexic whore :(

1'd for confusing "cover version" with "theft"

I truly hope Gwen Stefani is eaten by a tiger.

1 for Gideon Fairchild for being a tit.

Thank you. Gwen Stefani sucks

It's funny because it's true.

Next you're going to tell me that Memory song is from CATS. ;P

The sad thing is, the uncultured masses will think she actually WROTE that song.

I did not know that.

I played the Rabbi.

Can't believe people didn't already know this. Help spread the word...

This has been bothering me since the song came out. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was bothered by her sh*t song.

It's called a cover song. Songs are covered all the time, maybe you didn't notice because you're too stupid.

So... failure at life is a new thing for some of us. Oh wait, not really. Someone needs to pwn that ho. Fiddler rocks. Spread the word indeed. About eBaums too, but that was a given. Unless of course you didn't know that, in which case you should (of cour

(of course) be downvoted.

You do realise she probably had to pay to use the song/give a cut of the profits from it? Therefore it's not stealing.

I am also strongly against eBaum's World but the fact that you need permission to release a covered song in the first place means this can't be stealing and if it was, you'd see Gwen Stefani being sued.

Mindf*ck!

least talented woman ever

i find ice cream pleasurable (=

I see we have some Stefani fans in the audience.

Isn't she jewish? And I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this.

I thought everyone knew that was a cover.

NO WAI!!1!11

And Tevye was the first to lay down the hot moves...

HAHAHHAAAHAHA Nice Make the dude blink faster though, and i'll five this. Like in the old 'secret nazi' ytmnds.

It's called LICENSING. I.e., PAYING for PERMISION to use a song in another work. Look it up.

lol, fiddler rocks

if i were a rich jew.....

She also stole the beat to some song from some n****r called LLcooln****r or somthing.

I'm surpised more people didnt know this. I hate Gwen Stefani

gwen knows music, even if it is mainstream bullcrap these days

Thank you! I've been ranting about this to all non-Broadway knowledgable friends.

Gwen Stefani made a good song. I'm not saying stealing is good, but I know others who take a song and make it so bad that you never want to hear any part of the melody anymore. But true, Gwen Stefani is not very original. Anyway, it's a 3 for telling wher

it's a 3 for telling where the song came from.

you need to run the clip of gwen singing the song so that we can all compare. Do that And it'll be 5 worthy

Wow, I didn;t know half of YTMND is retarded. Of course it's from Fiddler... were you all living under rocks?

agreed with lord-oppy.

I wasn't gonna 5 this, but WilliamMark's comment changed my mind. How the mighty have fallen...

5 just for the statement "Stefane: The Bauman of Pop" both need to get bent, also die

-4 for not getting the concept of a "cover". +5 for people not understanding that it was a cover.

Unfortunately, now I have to 1 because what she did was not at all like what Bauman did, no one should really care either way, and the YTMND itself isn't that funny.

+5 for all the douchebags that aren't going to get it

Of course it's a cover. We all know that. But it doesn't change the fact that Gwen Stefani can't write her own music worth crap.

I'm sure she payed the guy who made the song, but it's still funny anyway

5'd just because most of these comments are not "OMG WoW n****r f*ggot jew anime sux, korn rulz!"

dear gwen can i have secks with ur butt pls thx

What the f*ck. I hate her even more now.

This sh*t is bananas

5 for educating YTMND folks. However, did no one notice that half way through the song the bassline from Queen's Another One Bites the Dust makes an appearance? Or do you lot not know who Queen are?

Fiddler on the Roof = best musical EVAR. Bet Gwen's not even cool & Jewish.

Thank you so much This is awesome. I hate Gwen for ripping off my favorite musical

Music artists are not original anymore and thats sad. :(

omg, its sad so many people dont know that...

Wow, sh*t! That's awesome.

No Doubt used to be so cool. Why'd Gwen have to get all sucky.

Hahaha how could you guys not know that came from Fiddler?!

Shes f*cking hot and fiddler sucks

It's people like Gwen Stefani that has really began to destroy the foundations of real music, bringing it all down until all of it is nothing but a huge pile of corporate crap.

gotta love fiddler on the roof.

Heheh.

I know how ya feel....I was in the fifth grade production and given the most important role ie: the fiddler. So it's not like I couldn't spot anything once she put it out.

omfg haha

at least Popozao was original. 5 for you, how about 5 for me? http://stepinbananatime.ytmnd.com/

Gwen's version is better. >:{

I knew that previously, oh well.

Good thing she sucks.

Is this supposed to be surprising? Now I feel incredibly old, thanks.

i dont get it

Dude, I realized that as soon as I heard the song. I'm only 5ing this because I just admitted I'm a musical theater queer and because you had a blinking Tevye (a la Secret Nazi ____)

I knew the song from Fiddler on the Roof the moment I heard the crap by Stefani. My sister would always listen to the "Rich Man" song.

OMFG! what a find

Yeah, we all know she stole it from Fiddler on the Rooftop... Big flippin deal, it's still an extraordinarily annoying song.

She's been a hack who's stolen every bit of her "innovative style" from people for years. f*ck that bitch.

The argument shouldnt be about covering "Fiddler on the Roof"... I always thought it was crappy that she she took the Lady Saw cover of "Rich Girl", a recent hit, 2002.... and copied it pretty closely, and everyone thinks Stefani reworked it like that. Li

Ah. Another reason for me to hate Gwen Stefani.

must...overcome...downvoters...

fiddler on the roof is awesome! i wanted to make this site when i heard this song but...guess i was too lazy.

That bitch! THAT BITCH!!

Meh. It's not like she thought nobody would figure it out, it's just "sampling" or something similar to that. However, I realize it's just a joke and I shoudln't take it seriously, BUT it's not funny enough. It just seems like a straight-faced accusati

-1 for bauman reference...give it the f*ck up already? this is...good though

f*ck that stupid old whore. I hope her baby comes out deformed and she is hit by a bus full of people who are not fashion conscious.

you people just realized that song was from fiddler on the roof? rofl. 5'd

YES! Gwen Stefani raped a good song. :(

WTF? People seriously didn't know that this was from FotR?

maybe she (or her managers) explicitly said it was a cover of fiddler on the roof

lol i remember when i first heard it, i was like "you f*cking stole that!" 5'd for truth

YES. I knew that was from Fidler when I first heard it. I generally liked Gwen, but after that, I lost respect for her.

D@mn f**king straight.

DUR

+5 for jewish awesomeity.

not very exciting

I've got to praise you like I should...

Heh

I think 'ol Gwen justifies us stealing music. After all, in the music industry, it's perfectly fine to steal, get away with it, and oh yeah, make a few million bucks and gain stardom off a single, unoriginal song. *goes to limewire to download crap*

Additionally, Gwen screws up the grammar in her version of the song. It should be "were", not "was". Yay subjunctive!

hmm.. Eminem does that too. They should all be shot.

YES. YES. YES! I have said that since that damn song came out!

OMG SHE COVERED A SONG!!!!! LETS RIOT

i dont get it

5 for Gwen, me likes her

I'm sorry I'm so UNCULTURED, I was raised by a pack of wolves and just recently discovered the internets.

You know, I thought this was going to be a really terrible thmnd about gwen stefani, but this was actually wuite funny!

Both songs rule.

The crime isn't covering the song. She CHANGED it ever so slightly. zomg

wow i never knew so many people were so clueless when it comes to theatre.

OMG, the real writer of that song should totally invade her website!

This YTMND is really stupid. But I'm going to five it because apparently all these morons who didn't know that song was from Riddler on the Roof learned something from it.

-4 for me not caring, +1 for captain Murphy

Win for making fun of sh*tty music.

That's, like, an uber dis.

i had no idea this was from "fiddler." in fact, i knew nothing about this musical. i often confused it with "cat on a hot tin roof." thank you for exposing me to culture!

Fiddler for the win.

+5 cool points from the Jews.

thank god i wasn't the only person who knew that. congrats to all who did.

SRSLY?

lol, Tradition

Chill out with this anti-gwen bullsh*t, shes not the first to do this and definately not the last, and she doesn't suck now~! -Gwen Fan

You're missing the point because you're too immersed in how much you love her. The point is that she's not stealing from some good popular song but some random old white guy. It's like if 50 cent stole a song from Bill Clinton.

It's called sampling, and it's a common practice in music. Gwen is niether the first nor the most reliant on this technique.

lol. 5

absolutely worthless. already knew this (common knowledge). and she got permission and gave credit, so she didn't steal it. stop whining you stupid fvcking pussies.

Ahaha, yes. I remember learning this song in music class in fourth grade.

how could you not know this?

True, true, so f'ing true! My wife is a musical nut and practically goes into convulsions every time she hears that crapified version.

I feel like a water lilly, a water lilly on a Chinese lagoon. (if you know what play this is from, you're gay for Tennesse Williams)

OK This song was originally in Fiddler on the Roof. It was then COVERED by some reggae artist but I can't recall their name. THEN Gwen covered it. You can't compare Gwen Stefani to Eric Bauman for recording a cover. If you did, you'd have t

Fiddler on the Roof owns.

HOLY sh*t IS THAT CUBA GOODING JR IN THAT BACK!?!?!?

To answer a few questions: Yes, I know what a cover is. Yes, I know she probably had permission and a legal right to record this cover. Doesn't change the fact that it's a) unoriginal and b) sh*tty.

She admits to being inspired by the Fiddler thing. http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/stefani%20inspired%20by%20fiddler%20on%20the%20roof

And I like the song. >.> Sorry for spamming.

1: I hate Stefani, she needs to go play in some traffic.. 2: SHE STOLE FROM FIDDLER!!!11

Holy crap nobody knew it came from Fiddler? Srsly?!?!?!

So true, good play, good song, ruined.

Good find haha

Songs taking stuff from other songs? OH MY GOD STOP THE PRESSES THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE! Though I never realized this one. So obvious now that I hear it.

-4 for being unfunny; bauman and stefani are quite different, what gwen does is, sadly, an industry standard...look around you...

Sampling. Get over it, they all do it now.

nice find

yes this is true. Stupid whore taking from a great movie

2 because anyone that's smart already knew that (it's also the money cheat on gta3 for pc, which made me lol the first time I saw it).

ZOMG SHE SAMPLED! NOBODY HAS EVER DONE THIS BEFORE! You are horribly wrong. Bauman steals EVERYTHING, while pop stars base songs off of another song. But 5 because Gwen sucks.

OY!

This reminds me, Swollen Members stole an old 70's song. (I'd go and make a YTMND out of it, but I don't know what the song is called. It was in one of the old Pink Panther movies)

the classics survive

why do we do it? i'll tell you...i don't know. it's a tradition.

1'd for a bad comparison. People that 1'd this already explained why.

Inspiration and blatant ripoffs are totally different. Most people at my college don't even realize she ripped Fiddler off. What a hack. Still a great YTMND.

the balogna is in the nest, the pastrami is recyclable.

I was in this show, and yeah, this song is really ripped off from Fiddler....It's a great show gone bad by some retarted blonde.

To the guy who said she stole from Notorious B.I.G. He stole that tune from someone else.

If you want a better example of a stolen song take "Kiss kiss" by Holly Valance, it is a copy of "Simarik" by Tarkan but changed to English.

God damnit, I knew this forever, and I didn't think to make a ytmnd because I thought it was common knowledge. Damnit! Ah well, 5'd for beating me to the punch.

and to tiptoegecko... f*ck you, this is from a PLAY.

Everybody involved in hip hop samples and rip offs everybody's music. That's why hip hop music sucks so much ass. And they call themselves "musicians." lol :p

She recorded a cover of a cover, you f*cking idiots, get on that person who wrote Rich Girl first

The first time I heard that idiotic song (the new one) I knew exactly where it was from. I don't know if she was just remixing it or if it was blatent theft, but either way I hate her for ruining that song for me, not to mention all her other unbearable songs.

+5 for Tevye. :0

oh man, blatant theft

yah, our school did Fiddler for a musical, then that song came out...

so true...

btw i actually am ZERO MOSTEL

5 for fiddler.

Always known that Gwen = crap

Fiddler, Topol, and Zero Mostel are all superior to Stefani any day of the week.

lol, cereal?

KHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

In music its called a cover; she covers songs now, cause she left a great band... This is why no one respects the Music Industry anymore and only idiots buy CDs.

I think you just added "bauman" to get more views.
