Intro to whiter shade of pale was basically a piece by Bach called air on a g stringAs in all of these cases, the legal bods will be the only winner.
Wasn't it the Moody Blues in court a few years back over someone claiming they wrote the intro to Wider Shade of Pale and not Justin Heyward?
Fingers claimed he was told he'd be sorted financially - and as with The Smiths, nothing was written down..... so will be a tough case to win.
Tuearts right boot

I don't like Mondays is shite and Geldof is a fucking ****. I hope it bankrupts him the smarmy twat.
Nah...he just do another concert in aid of some poor, down trodden people.

I've not read The Lord of the Rings but am surprised to discover that this fella also composed (or not) songs.

It has been claimed that Air on a G String is the most plagiarised piece of music ever written.

Why is it always takes 30 years for these people to decide to sue? A mate of mine ( the guy who designed wipeout on Playstation ) just had some random bod try to get money out of him cos he claims 1 of the sceneary parts on 1 of the tracks looked like some of his art...... from 20 years ago!.

I never understood how he wasn't sued by Simple Minds when he had a hit with 'this is the world calling' - it was very similar to 'alive and kicking'. Mind u, in those days (late 80's) it was probably against the law to criticise Bobby.
