Biggest rip off song ever?

Man i love this tune!

Simply Red changed the lyrics to the 'how long has this been going on' chorus and sang them over hall and oats 'i can't go for that'.

And by golly it's a darn catchy tune!

There are lots of lawsuits over songs. Many for me, as a non musician it is hard to hear the infringement. That song is pure ripoff, and almost a parody like the OP in the thread.

No, Simply Red sampled and credited Hall and Oates on the song.

Vanilla Ice didn't which is why he got sued.

I think you have to be recognized as a person by the law in order to take part in legal matters. Gingers therefore cannot sue or be sued.

Rip off?

How about "surfin' USA" by the beach boys?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s4slliAtQU

Now listen to Chuck Berry's "sweet little 16"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLV4NGpoy_E&t=1s

Chuck sued...and won. Now gets writer's royalties. (or his estate does)

Tom Petty / Jeff Lynne - Won't Back Down
Stan Smith - Stay With Me

Tom took this to court and was settled. I believe his name (as well as Jeff's) was added as authors to the song

The Verve "Bitter Sweet Symphony"/ Stones "The Last Time" although in this case "The Verve" was ripped off.

Orbison recorded Blue Bayou and Ronstadt subsequently recorded a cover, with full attribution. I don’t see where this fits in a rip-off thread.
