With music, who can really say who stole what from who, when, where or whatever? Of the two disputed songs, "Busan Woman" and "Detroit Girl," their greatest similarity may be that neither song is much to make a fuss about. 

BUSAN, South Korea -- While accusations and explanations fly and a buzzing hive of fans rises up on their chosen sides, the central question remains: Did Korean megastar Rain, with his newly released musical ode to Busan Women, bite off of Rapael Saadiq’s 2004 song to the girls in Detroit?

The short answer: No. It hops along at a similar gait, but they are two different songs. 

The long answer is that while Detroit girls and Busan girls battle it out with California Girls, Brown Eyed Girls, Fat Bottomed Girls and Jessie’s Girl, the Song Remains the Same; the gods gave us only so many notes to choose from. From those we create whatever we can manage -- by the millions.

For those who can’t fathom that concept, and are fighting with complete strangers on the internet, let's throw a little fuel on the fire while winning no friends on either side of the growing spat.

First, we should note, that the plagiarism charges aren't coming from anyone associated with Saadiq, but rather from netizens harping on the song since its August 16th release. Enough badgering that Rain was forced to deny it publicly this week. The domestic press picked up on it and it might well break internationally by next week. Bad timing for the 29-year-old rain who will soon enjoy military duty. Twenty-one months out of the public eye is an eternity with the "P" word hanging around your neck --even for Korea's most recognizable male star.
