Different lyrics, same song ?

[fig]

I really need another hobby...Im thinking about trying bass guitar. Whats the best bass for plagiarized music?

You could start with a Fender bass copy, I suppose.

What about "Tuesday's Gone" and "Wagon Wheel"?

“Strange Brew” and “Hey Lawdy Mama”. Both by Cream.

That was the same rhythm bed; originally a take on an old blues tune that had gone through a number of transformations, Clapton first mimicked the Junior Wells version, then had the band do it in a slower Albert King style. Producer Felix Pappalardi, with his wife(and eventual murderer)Gail, came up with more contemporary lyrics, which were then laid over the basic standard blues structure along with a little more spirited guitar solo. The original take didn’t see light of day until some filler was needed for the Live Cream I album, plus a later release of a BBC radio session.

It is well known that Tom Petty was a big fan of The Animals having covered several of their songs in his concerts. See if you hear any similarities here.

I caught that when the first album came out, not to mention the general nod to the Byrds on “American Girl”.

 

[Killing Floor]

12 notes.

Yeah I know. But the songs listed and the styles shown above are all 12 notes. So don’t split hairs.

Well.....thers Surfing USA which had to give a 50/50 credit to a Mr. Chuck Berry.
His next album had a blurb at the top that said " writer of Surfin USA".
Or somthin like that.
How many songs are based on Johnny B Goode ?

The “TW” plagiarism has been much discussed; I don’t know what prompted Stapleton and company to pull such an arrogant and no-class move, but here’s two earlier versions of the song as it was actually written…

Is it no class when the writers are attributed and certainly compensated? Dean Dillon / Linda H Bartholomew, David Allen Coe was the original recording artist, not the writer.

Joss Stone stole the groove from the Meters' "do the dirt," but she put her own song on top of it, changing both melody and lyrics. I kinda like what she did with it if I'm honest.

(Leo Nocentelli has a songwriting credit, but not sure if that was arranged at publish time or asserted after.)

Ice Ice baby.....

Did Stapelton give credit to Etta James for the music ?

If there was anything actionable Etta's estate would have gone to court.
