I'm sure by now you've heard the new Beyonce song "Texas Hold Em". You've heard the debate on whether it's a country song or not.

But have you heard the latest debate? There's a group of people out there that think the song sounds like the theme song to "Franklin". Remember that show? Yeah, the kids show about a little turtle boys adventures with his other animal friends.

The composer of the Franklin theme song said that they sound "similar" but he can't take any credit for writing the Beyonce song.

“I think Beyoncé’s ‘Texas Hold ’Em’ is a good record. Unfortunately I can’t claim to have had any part in writing it,"

"The rhythmic feel is similar to my theme song for the Franklin TV series, but to my ears that’s where the similarity stops. 'Texas Hold ’Em' is her song, and I wish her success with it!"

So let's compare the two. 

First, here's "Texas Hold Em"

And now here's Franklin's theme - 

And now let's show you some of the TikTok's that are out there saying that they're "the same". There are a lot more than this but let's just give you a few.
