Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy is “literally Plants vs. Zombies” - duh!

Grammy award-winner Billie Eilish has been around for a few years now, despite her young age. But arguably her biggest hit came via Bad Guy, an upbeat song about a guy who is bad, who also happens to be Billie Eilish. It’s complicated, OK?

Since the song released, eagle-eared (that’s a thing, right?) listeners have been noticing similarities between its synth melody and the Plants vs. Zombies theme tune.

Hell, the official PvZ account tweeted about it back in May last year:

Eilish recently admitted that the similarities are no coincidence.

“You know what it literally is?” she asks in her video interview with Rolling Stone. “It’s literally Plants vs. Zombies.”
