Of course it’s a soundalike! Did the original airing have the actual Ray Parker Jr version? Did they swap this facsimile in for the upload just to get around rightsbot or something?

From what I’ve heard, this soundalike was the original used, from a Hallmark CD or something along those lines. It does sound like something they might have had on hand at the studio while rushing to slap together content (this was literally finished only minutes before it aired).

I had never seen this before until yesterday when I stopped into a bar, and they had it playing (with the sound off, a football game was on), I thought it was some local thing. If not for that I would not have read this article. So I Baader–Meinhoffed myself.
