between inspiration and plagiarism Music, the border is in some cases difficult to determine. Is the artist deliberately copied a song, or is it just chance that Creative has two pieces that have come to resemble?
Some pieces have, however, too common to leave room for doubt and we do believe in coincidence. Sometimes it is voluntary and statutory (sample, resume, homage) which with like Supermode "Tell Me Why " borrows " Smalltown Boy" Bronski Beat, or with which Kid Rock "All Summer Long "reclaims" Sweet Home Alabama "by Lynyrd Skynyrd. In other cases, it is much less, as evidenced by following pairs of songs.
Nirvana - "Come As You Are . output in 1992 is one of the most popular songs of the group of Kurt Cobain, and yet it is clear that the resemblance is striking with a title of Killing Joke, British rock band which released the single " Eighties "... in 1984!
But the story does not end there. Jaz Coleman, Killing Joke leader, had just filed suit against plagiarism Nirvana's song. But this action has not been implemented for the simple reason that the rif of " Eighties" is also very close to a previous song by The Damned: "Life Goes On . The latter had never filed a complaint, the incident did not ultimately have legal consequences.
Babyshambles - "Delivery . Babyshambles, the group formed by Pete Doherty soon after his ouster of the Libertines for drug problems. In 2007, 2 nd band released album, on which one finds this piece to be a big success for the group. Only after the passage of a candidate which made us listen to the Queen we were struck by the resemblance of "Back Chat " with the title of Babyshambles. The rhythm is the same, and one could almost change the words between "By gold by the way of explanation year" and "Back chat back chat You burn all my energy".
White Stripes - "Seven Nation Army . output in 2003 on the album "Elephant ", and then often repeated and adapted, it is undoubtedly the song that has contributed most to publicize the group. Do not let bad language, the resemblance is less striking than for the previous two and can not talk about plagiarism. But anyway, when comparing "Seven Nation Army" to a song Gories published in 1995, "You Little Nothing ," one can not help but notice the similarities ...
Jet - " Are You Gonna Be My Girl . No doubt this time, the piece published in the Australian group in 2003 owes much to "Lust For Life " by Iggy Pop. While browsing a bit on Wikipedia, it seems that the song has also been noticed for similarities with " Screwdriver " (listen for example to 1: 52) The White Stripes, or even songs released on Motown in the '60s.
George Harrison - "My Sweet Lord . With this song of 1970, the former Beatles was also convicted of involuntary plagiarism of the song "He's So Fine " of rags, the 1960 group.
