Three days ago, Oliver Pocher (42) exposed the lie of the advent calendar of pop singer Michael Wendler (48) and his wife Laura Müller (20) in an Instagram video. But the comedian also noticed something else. Wendler’s hit, 2017’s “Egal,” which was on the German singles charts earlier in the year, seemed very familiar to him. And indeed: the melody of the song is the same as that of “You only do that to annoy me” by Matthias Reim (63), which he released in 2005.
Pocher knows it too and shoots the alleged thief violently: “The original is always better than the fake. You’re just a phony. Nothing about you is real. “The Wendler noticed the discussion about his song and tried to defend himself on his Instagram story.” There is approval for the short match on the song ‘Egal’, “he explains.
“Of course he stole the song!”
What he doesn’t say, however, is that he only acquired it later, when Reim already noticed the song. When asked by ‘Bild’, Reim said, ‘Of course he stole the song! I realized that when I first heard the song. “
The musician didn’t take it that way and went straight to his music editor. “They took care of it and had an expert report on the songs,” reports Matthias Reim. This report confirms that Wendler’s “Anything” is copied from his song “You only do that to annoy me.”
Michael Wendler gotta get money out of the rhyme
The musician and his music publisher successfully took legal action against the indebted singer. “Now we have won the matter and Michael Wendler’s attorneys had to admit defeat.” However, there is actually a permission: “This has only now been granted by my publisher. He is allowed to continue singing the song, but he has to get the coal out, ”says Reim.
Before Michael Wendler published the song, he never approached Matthias Reim: “I definitely didn’t have permission from me that he could steal my song. Of course he didn’t ask me about that. “(Bsn)
