Similarities

There is the new M.I.A. song which uses a sample of Suicide's "Ghost Rider". And then there's zZz's "Ecstasy", a song that was used in a very important scene in the "Katie" episode of the fourth season of "Skins". Somehow, they sound similar, right? 
By the way, this discussion of Romain Gavras short movie to "Born Free" is better than anything else I've read about it so far. Essential questions: would the video be "better" if the nationality of the military carrying out the ethnic violence was not clearly identified as American? 
Does it help to consider Gavras's work with French band Justice? 

Justice - Stress
[the parody! UNO! And no, apparently I can't take anything seriously. Sorry.]
