Ridin Solo is Bittersweet.

If there's one song on the radio right now that I think is absolutely brilliant, it's "Solo" by Jason Derulo. Everyone loves it, and they don't know why, exactly. I know why...because the melody is taken from "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. If you listen to version on the radio, it's not noticeable unless you know the tune of "Bittersweet Symphony" by heart (like me).

However, the original version of the song DID have "Bittersweet Symphony" in it! When Jason Derulo came out with the recording, the members of The Verve loved it, but advised him against using it in the song, as The Verve had been sued some years ago for using a tune from an old Rolling Stones song (not sure which one).

Despite the legal issues, the original version of "Solo" is available online, and, lucky for you, dear readers, I have it! It's even better than the version on the radio!

Listen and enjoy!



Keep it classy and fabulous!
