Beyoncé's 'Texas Hold 'Em' Praised By 'Franklin' Theme Singer Despite Comparisons

Fans of Beyoncé's "Texas Hold 'Em" are calling it out for its similarity to the "Franklin" cartoon theme sung by Bruce Cockburn Beyoncé's country single was transposed with the theme for "Franklin" a Canadian-produced kids' show Many TikTok users, and even some radio DJs, insist the country #1 song borrows plenty from "Franklin" so much so, some of the TikTokers are getting upwards of 5 million views on their posts.  Bruce doesn't think Beyoncé needs to lasso up an apology he says "I think Beyoncé’s 'Texas Hold 'Em' is a good record. Unfortunately, I can’t claim to have had any part in writing it." For those unfamiliar with "Franklin" the animated preschool series aired in Canada between 1997 and 2004. The show followed the titular turtle's aminated adventures with his fellow woodland creatures. Bey would've been 16 when "Franklin" premiered -- so, we highly doubt she's familiar with the kiddo show, however her co-writers on the track might be a different story
