When the first Vital Signs album came out, it was a revelation to the young generation. Even today, 'Dil Dil Pakistan' is still considered one of the most successful songs ever to come out of the local scene. It comes almost as a shock to find out that artists such as Vital Signs are capable of cheating another artist. 'Samjhana', the single from their first album was a copy of the UB40 song 'Red, Red Wine'. And this was not the only copy. In the mid-nineties their third album, Aitebaar came out. The album titled song 'Aitebaar', which became the love theme of broken hearts, was also a copy. This was copied from Phil Collins' song, 'A Groovy Kind of Love'. Junoon, the Rocker Fellas of Pakistani pop, did the same with 'Pappu Yaar'. They ripped off 'Who Knows' by Jimi Hendrix. There are other artists from the local scene, who although are no Junoon or Vital Signs, in terms of musical creations and success, but they, too, took the small road to fame. VJ king Dino's hit song 'Pari', a copy of 'Two Princes' by Spin Doctors, Sajjad Al i with his copy of Khaled's Song 'Didi' into 'Babia', Karavan's song 'Gardish' with their inspiration from the Led Zeppelin single 'Kashmir', Khalid Waheed with his copying of 'What is Love' by Haddaway as 'Kya Hai Love' and 'Let It Be' by The Beatles as 'Apni Jan Pakistan', all copied other artists. These songs were not tributes or covers. They were full-fledged copies, an attempt to fool the local audience. When local artists themselves cheat others, how can they expect remuneration from Indian musicians, for using and abusing their songs?
