Radio song

[Jack.P]

Been listening to some right old crap which is on the radio a lot called due lipa break my heart. 

it took a few goes to work out but this is a blatant copy partly ripping off the famous queen song .another one bites the dust 

how do they get away with this  .if they didn’t already give them X amount to use it then perhaps these self interested music producers  will get sued soon on copyright grounds . 

this sort of thing does really get to me

There is a song by one of the Gallager brothers ( not sure which one ) but there is a part of the melody that is identical to a song by Dave Gilmore from his recent album Rattle That Lock .  Could be a coincidence . You can only arrange all the chords so many times .

I believe it is called sampling, they have to pay.

 

As it was used in the Dacia Duster ads ‘another one buys a dust...er” I shouldn’t worry too much about the artistic integrity of Queen songs.

There was a song that used the opening bars of Werewolves of London  by Warren Zeavon, I’d get all excited, ready for a singalong in the van, then some twat started singing about his childhood in America somewhere.

 

That did piss me off.

Kid rock , sampled sweet home Alabama and werewolves of London in same song, must have cost him a fortune.

I believe that was "kid rock". Annoying berk he was.

 

Wasn't "Werewolves of London" just sampling "Sweet Home Alabama" though?!

 

Edit: John beat me to it

[Mick Dempsey]

Maybe, they sound similar,  sort of copied maybe, but not sampled in the modern sense.

[Joe Newton]

Whatever. 

 

We can agree that the other bloke is a shithead though.
