LCD Soundsystem Track Lifted by T.G.I. Friday's?

Well, here we go again. Following news last week that a Beach House song was jacked by an ad agency for a new Volkswagen commercial, LCD Soundsystem seem to have fallen victim to similar dubious practices.

As Pitchfork reports, a new ad for U.S. chain restaurant T.G.I. Friday's features a song that sounds suspiciously like LCD Soundsystem's 2005 single "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House." Have doubts? Just check out the advertisement below and compare it to the original LCD track.

At this point, James Murphy and co. have yet to respond to the ad, but already on YouTube several commenters are calling this one a rip-off big time.
