dAVe80 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I said the first time I heard Mr Thicko's ode to being rapey, that it was just ripping off Marvin. Glad to have been proven correct. I wonder if Ed Sheeran will cough up a similar figure for ripping off Let's Get it On"... Thankfully, I've managed to avoid his work for the most, so wasn't aware he'd "borrowed" anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The story of taxman / start goes back further doesn't it? Vague recollections of listening to an article tracing it back further, Harrison or McCartney having lifted it from something else, which would explain why that one hasn't gone legal...

chrisp65 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) I could be talking rubbish, which would of course be very unusual. I'll google. on a v quick google wikip says McCartney's bass line has been considered to imitate Motown bassist James Jamerson hardly a full dissertation, but I'm claiming that justifies my suspicions Edited March 12, 2015 by chrisp65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Been a Beatles fan since I was 4 years old and just learned that George sung the vocal on Could have sworn it was Paul. Strange. George was never a crooner, but he croons on this one, as good as Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 2 examples… And then Beck went an ripped it off.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxugaMpt1vUWeller just copied chunks of the whole thing pretty much wholesale, Beck's nicked the beat. Ergo, as per my post above, Beck is a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Beatles redeemed themselves a million times over. What they copied just gets crushed under the weight of what they created. Still amazes me how prolific they were. 7 years. Imagine that.

dAVe80 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Beck is a genius. He's OK, but he's no Beyonce. I am Kenny West, and I claim my own £5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
