BubbaVO Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Radiohead suing Lana because of the similarities...https://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/Music/2018/01/08/Radiohead-sues-Lana-Del-Rey-for-plagiarism/4491515387817/?spt=slh&or=3 And Radiohead was sued for ripping off the Albert Hammond/Hollies: Seems like the bar is getting lower and lower.

Steve Haynie Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I can hear similarities, but it is more in the feel of each song than the melody. The Lana Del Rey song is close to Creep, but Creep is not the same melody as The Air That I Breathe. This is good mash up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that stands out to me is the bridge melody in creep is nearly note for note with the last form in the Hollies song, sung by the rhythm section in that mashup right at the end.

DaveL Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 weird, I totally think it's a ripoff... I had heard the rep's for lana del rey had offered 40% but were rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugartune Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yeah, it's too close to Creep, which was too close to The Air that I Breathe. Different songs entirely, but the structure, down to the changed minor at the end are the same. Not sure it's worth 100%, and I'd probably suggest 40% is fair, but who knows the real deals.

polara Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 It's too close to Creep to be coincidence. Lana's age, plus Creep being practically the anthem for a generation? Chord progressions are one thing but that progression + tempo + a lot of similarities in the melody? I'll grant her the benefit of a doubt that the song is so embedded in a lot of people that she subconsciously just re-wrote it, and say 40% is fair though. Now THIS was a ripoff... The Eagles just did a note-for-note of Otis Clay. Bob Seeger and The Eagles sound like they were just dubbing different melodies over the same backing tracks for their two songs. http://www.trunkworthy.com/otis-clay-deserves-to-be-remembered-in-the-long-run/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
