If indie music message boards had trending topics, then "Δρόμοι που αγάπησα - Ελένη Βιτάλη" would definitely be trending. I'm not really sure how to say that, but many Greek-music enthusiasts are beginning to claim that Lana Del Rey's "Video Games" was ripped off / sampled from this song. Of course, every1 claims that every indie artist ripped off/sampled sounds from some1 else. It was at the foundation of the chillwave movement and the structural basis of most dance songs. However, every1 h8s Lana Del Rey, so they will probably say 'OMG I can't believe she's a thief. What will she do next 2 betray us? Sigh... I can't believe she did it again... Srsly Lana? Srsly?'
It is a Greek song from 1991 sung by Eleni Vitali called "Dromoi Agapisa Pou." This is apparently the 'info' on who sings / wrote the song, or something. The only Greek word I know how to say is "fallaffy", so there's no way I could pronounce this stuff.

Do u notice a similarity, or is this a reach?
Does LDR have a Greek background?
Do they ACTUALLY sound the same or is it a reach?
Are there only similar vocal stylings?
Should LDR have 'ripped off' a better song?
Should she have hired Greek backup singers on SNL?
Should samples be illegal?
Will LDR be banned from Greece?
Is the entire world turning on #LDR?
Mmmmm....kinda.

This definitely sounds very, very similar. At least the first part of Video Games is almost identical, even the way her voice sounds is similar. The refrain in video games is different but I am guessing she copied that from a different song...
I find it very hard to believe that she'd copy a random greek song from 20 years ago. Where would she have picked it up? I doubt it has ever received any airplay outside of Greece. I think it's just a coincidence to be honest.
The singing style is deff copied. The backing music is pretty much the same too, just replace the bouzouki with harp. While the refrain and the third line of each verse ("go play ya veedeeoh gayaymes") are different, the first two lines ("open up a beer, say get over here") are essentially copied.
Copying a traditional folk melody for a pop song isn't problematic - lots of pop songs are based on Pacelbel's Canon and other classical melodies. It's definitely a ripoff but it's kind of a good idea to take it into the Beach House context, and is obviously LDR's personal way of pointing to a relationship between the dying American dream and the collapse of the Greek economy.
OT I guess but I cant believe all the time you waste on a website like this, seriously. I wonder how you're like in real life, actually on a second thought no I don't.
LOL. Actually, if all the conspiracies about Lana Del Rey are true, then that means Carles is just as pathetic as she is as far as exploitation is concerned. The only difference is, Lana goes down blazing. Meanwhile, Carles... wait... who?
a) I 'm Greek, hate LDR and still think that claiming that she stole this from Eleni Vitali is a but of a stretch. It a not like these notes have. NEVER been used before in the history of notes ever used for singing. Yes, it does sound alike but so do other 23444746782 songs.
And b) "fallafy"???!!!!!!! That's not even a word. Falafel IS a word though and it's not Greek, it's Arabic.
And what is the big deal, yeah, sure there is a similarity but from there to go to this extent.. I am not sure it is really worth it. The rhythm is really not that exceptional in order to be a 100% copy-paste. You don't need to be a music master to come up with this tune, so please, give her a break.

lana del rey is amazing. i saw her play at the troubadour, and it sounded just like her ep. sure her personality and banter in between songs made you want to leave but then she would start the next song and her voice was simply amazing. when she was on snl her second performance was better but it was mediocre at best. I dont give fuck what anyone says lana del rey is an amazing songstress and lyricist. who gives a shit if she sampled the song? tell me someone that doesnt sample nowadays.
