German Euro-dance act Cascada may have used popstar Katy Perry's hit 'California Gurls' as the inspiration for their latest single, 'San Francisco.'
The Cascada song sounds just like Perry's summery ode to the West coast and its bikini-baring babes -- from the nearly identical beat to the lyrical content. Compare Cascada's lyrics, "Wake me up in San Francisco/ Where you got flowers in your hair girl/ Party everywhere girl" with Katy's hook, "California girls/ We're undeniable/ Fine, fresh, fierce/ We got it on lock/ West coast represent/ Now put your hands up."
Ironically enough, 'San Francisco' comes from Cascada's fourth studio album entitled 'Original Me'!
