The lawsuit seems very opportunistic, so I am glad that they are fighting it. I do agree that it will be harder and harder to come up with something 100% unique as more and more songs are written.

Another ridiculous lawsuit, compounded by a judge who knows very little about music. H**l, there ARE only seven notes to work with here – I think by now its next to impossible to write something 100% original! More to the point, my take would be that this was what’s known as a “quote” – where another song is deliberately referenced just enough to create an effect – and not plagurism by a long stretch!

I had no idea! Now I’ve learned something, so I can go back to bed.

You think Collin’s going to have to sell that glass eye now that he’s being sued?

It would be a crazy high number, although I think there’s still some gray area that needs to be clarified first.

“Overkill” is my favorite Men at Work song as well.

I hope they invested in RRSPs because I don’t even want to know what the backpayments will be like if they lose! :p

Wow how random! I have to say, I’ve always loved Men At Work even though I kind of discovered their music 20 years after it was successful. My all time favourite is “Overkill” – so extremely, completely AMAZING!
