The White Stripes released this statement via www.thewhitestripes.com in regards to US Air Force commercial that aired during the Super Bowl. The Stripes obviously claim that they believe their song “Fell In Love With A Girl” had been “re-recorded and used without permission”.
The songs are just about identical. Check it out…
The musician who composed the song featured on the US Air Force’s recent Super Bowl half-time advert, has apologised to the duo. Kem Kraft has said that similarities between his instrumental advert song, aired on February 7 during the televised sporting event and Jack and Meg White’s 2002 hit were coincidental. “I’m sorry it sounds the same,” Kraft told The New York Times. “It wasn’t my intention, truly, truly, truly.” He also said he hadn’t heard ‘Fell In Love With A Girl’ and “I had no idea there was similarity until after the fact.”
