Is Beyoncé's 'Texas Hold 'Em' copying the 'Franklin' theme song?
Newsy
A slew of TikTok videos are drawing comparisons between the two unlikely country-esque bops, and even the theme song's composer is weighing in.
Is it collective nostalgia or a copyright claim?
It's a question that's been roaming across social media in dozens of TikTok videos comparing two unlikely songs: Beyoncé's chart-topping country hit, "Texas Hold 'Em," and the theme song for the animated children's series, "Franklin."
And just like every other social media-originated trend, the idea is garnering both support and backlash.
On one side of the debate, you have a TikTok user saying, "Millennials trying to figure out why this sounds so familiar," as the No. 1 single plays ahead of the cartoon's intro. It's a similar message in dozens of other observant listeners' videos, with one post even garnering 2.1 million views and 46,000 likes.
