Chris Young’s “Young Love and Saturday Nights” sounds like a rip-off of David Bowie’s “Rebel Rebel,” but it’s not as blatant.  Warner Chappell Music Nashville contacted songwriter Jesse Frasure to use Bowie’s music in the country song. The modern word for the process is “extrapolation,” ironically, Bowie gets songwriter credit.

Young recorded “Young Love and Saturday Nights” due to its universal themes. What would Bowie think of the song? He’d probably hate it. Bowie told NPR in 2002 that he never listened to country music. What do you think of Chris Young’s “Young Love and Saturday Night?”
