Uh oh, looks like Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars could be in a bit of trouble.

Obviously you’ve heard ‘Uptown Funk‘ by Mark Ronson ft Bruno Mars, it’s the anthem of the 21st century, but apparently they’ve been naughty and copied it off 80’s girl group ‘The Sequence’.

Now, we know Mark is no stranger to using older tracks as inspiration, look at ‘Valerie’ for example. (Absolute tune that is too). Have a listen to ‘Uptown Funk’ and ‘Funk You Up’ and hear for yourself.

We definitely hear SOME similarities, but we wouldn’t say it’s copied, tbh most 70’s music sounds very samey, they’re all funky af.

What do you think, are Mark and Bruno in some serious trouble or is it all a bit silly? Let us know at @maximumpop with your thoughts.
