Did Usher Plagiarize Hit OMG From The Simpsons?

We love Usher's hit song OMG, but did he actually steal it's inspiration from Homer Simpson? Say it ain't so!
The Simpson’s song dates back to 2003 when Homer attempts to write a Christmas carol in an episode called Dude, Where's My Ranch?. A DJ at a popular Jackson, Mississippi radio station discovered the similarities, and decided to splice the TV show and music video together to post on YouTube, prompting hundreds of comments.
They really aren’t that far off. In OMG Usher is heard singing:
- “Honey got a booty like pow, pow, pow. Honey got some boobies like wow, oh wow.â€Â
While Homer’s beat is similar:
- “Christmas in December, wow wow wow. Give me tons of presents, now now now.â€Â

We have to admit they do sound alike, but we're betting this is just a random coincidence!
