The R&B star’s 2010 single “OMG” has a lot in common with a Christmas carol sung by Homer Simpson in 2003.

In “OMG,” Usher describes the beauty of a woman he met in a club:

Honey got a booty like pow, pow, pow

Honey got some boobies like wow, oh wow

As discovered by radio station Y101, during the Christmas episode of the 14th season of The Simpsons, Homer sings about a different kind of booty:

Christmas in December, wow, wow, wow

Give me tons of presents, now, now, now

On the off-chance that this is more than a coincidence—is any artist lame enough to steal from a cartoon?—Usher isn’t at fault. Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am wrote and produced the song. (via BuzzFeed)
