Responses to Smiths discovery have been mixed. ∺ lot more people heard it than I was expecting, he says. But once on the Web, Smiths creation got loose. Smith said he put his remixed Nickelback song on his Web page so his friends could listen to it. She pretty much despises Nickelback now, Smith said. He wanted to make a point to his friends and girlfriend, a big Nickelback fan. Smith admitted that he tweaked the songs a bit to create his musical Frankenstein, but he says he did so to prove how similar the songs are. What Smith noticed was that Nickelbacks earlier hit song, How You Remind Me, sounded very similar to one of the bands newest songs, Someday. Once the similarity was discovered, the songs started piggybacking around the Internet with the moniker How You Remind Me of Someday. And it was actually ridiculous how similar they were. So I tried to put them together, one on the left speaker, one on the right speaker. I kind of noticed, well, you can hum the melody of the other one over this one, and I wondered why this is, Smith says. Mikey Smith, a 21-year-old college student and musician in Alberta, Canada, heard two of the bands songs on the radio and immediately noticed something was strange. Nickelback has recorded several hit songs - or are they the same hit song, repurposed repeatedly?
