Yeah, Gwen Stefani's song pretty much a sped up version of the original from Fiddler on the Roof. There's even a bonus feature on the Spider-Man 2 DVD that has Alfred Molina, who was rehearsing for Fiddler on the Roof, singing that song in full Doc Ock ou

Harry Goz aka Captain Murphy in Sealab 2021 starred on Broadway as Tevye for 3 years in the mid 60's in Fiddler. He was said to be the greatest singing Tevye ever to appear on the stage. This is for you Goz.

You do realise she probably had to pay to use the song/give a cut of the profits from it? Therefore it's not stealing.

I am also strongly against eBaum's World but the fact that you need permission to release a covered song in the first place means this can't be stealing and if it was, you'd see Gwen Stefani being sued.

To answer a few questions: Yes, I know what a cover is. Yes, I know she probably had permission and a legal right to record this cover. Doesn't change the fact that it's a) unoriginal and b) sh*tty.
