Re: request... he's so fine
I heard this in Catch Me If You Can the other night and really... what was George thinking! It's exactly the same song. Can't believe he took it to court, why bother.

Must've been new to the American Legal System.
Interested in any/all Bootlegs. Sometimes I make my own.

We did get a really funny video out of it though! "This Song" is a great Pythonesque George video.

Re: request... he's so fine
Actually there's another one on ATMP that is a direct ripoff of another old song, but I'll let sleeping dogs lie.

Re: request... he's so fine
I hear many songs that are borrowed from earlier sources. But when you're high-profile, deep-pocketed, and get a #1 hit with it, it seems destined for a lawsuit.
In All We Are Saying: The Last Major Interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Lennon was asked about the ongoing ‘He’s So Fine’/’My Sweet Lord’ case: “Well, he walked right into it,” John began. “He knew what he was doing.” When asked if he thought George had consciously plagiarised the single, Lennon said: “He must have known, you know,” John continued. “He’s smarter than that. It’s irrelevant, actually — only on a monetary level does it matter.”

Re: request... he's so fine
What song is this?? And I don’t believe it’s ever been in a court room…as this wasn’t “the hit” And I apologize for it not being a Beatle song…posted as an example only
