Serbian
singer Snezana Miskovic, known for stage name Viktorija, claims the song sounds
like hers.
Bruno Mars has
been accused of stealing part of another artist's song for his hit Uptown Funk.
Serbian
singer Snezana Miskovic, also known by her stage name Viktorija, 56, has
reportedly claimed 80 per cent of the hit sounds like her song Ulice Mracne
Nisu Za Devojke, or Dark Streets Are Not For Girls, which she recorded in 1984.
Viktorija
has had a string of hits and was once voted Best Female Singer by Pop Rock
magazine in 1989.
The star
alleged: "Their song Uptown Funk contains 80 percent of my tracks. How
much of it are you allowed to take as inspiration for your song?
"I'm in
no hurry to sue them, these processes take a long time, and my life and career
does not depend on lawsuits."
Victoria
said that she was sorry that many did not recognize that the world hit was
allegedly plagiarised.
"For
these lawsuits, there should be a lot of money, the lawyers are working on a
percentage.
"If I
still decide to sue them and I win, I have to figure out what to do with that
money."
