As promised, late last week, Linkin Park has premiered a new song called “The Catalyst” in a trailer for the video game Medal Of Honor. While at first the song’s European techno influence sounded interesting and unique, something just didn’t sit right with me. Where have I heard those synth lines that come in at the 1:14 mark before? Then it hit me … Eurovision!

Looks like my experience with the popular European song competition (the same competition won by Lordi in 2006) has finally come in handy. After careful listen, I realized that “The Catalyst” has an uncanny resemblance to Turkey’s entry in the 2010 Eurovision competition. MaNga’s “We Could Be The Same” ranked in second place this past year, losing 1^st place to Germany. Take a look below to watch MaNga performing the song.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the two songs share such a similar sound. But damn does it sound so similar!
