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

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.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.
