The New Order track is actually called BLUE MONDAY and its pretty obvious.

I just assumed New Order got writing credits for the track.

DOING ANY SONG THAT WAS A HIT IS MISSLEADING ITS BEING A RIP OFF, ITS BEING UN-ORIGINAL JUST CALL IT RIP OFF!

This is such an obvious rip off. Why isn’t this being exploited more? First she made money off of Tainted Love, now she’s making money off of Blue Monday. I hate modern hip hop. Puff Daddy sucks balls for ruining hip hop. At least in the past they had a little more creativity and didn’t use the same stupid riff from the entire song and the exact same structure.

thank god, I thought I was the only one hearing “Blue Monday” in “Shut up and Drive.” Why is she being allowed to get away with this? It’s so damn OBVIOUS.
