Drake's verse on 'Tuesday' is just The Piña Colada Song
No word on whether he likes getting caught in the rain

Drake has been found to have accidentally (?) plagiarised Rupert Holmes' "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" during his verse on iLOVEMAKONNEN's "Tuesday".
The comparison was first made by YouTube user Yeezer, who put the rapper's verse and the chorus of the classic 70s jam back-to-back:
The internet was very amused, and it was only a matter of time until the mash-ups rolled in:
The inherent majesty of "The Piña Colada Song" was previously celebrated with the Piña Colliding meme.
It saw film's most dramatic moments re-scored with the chorus's "If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain" line, with Citizen Kane, The Shawshank Redemption and more getting the Rupert Holmes treatment.
Drake is expected to release a new album next year titled "Views From The 6".
Little is known about the record, though Drake has been prolific of late, releasing a ton of songs through the October's Very Own Soundcloud.
