For any of you that have been watching the music news over the past week, you've heard
about [G] this copyright infringement suit between Radiohead and Lana Del Rey.
Radiohead or their people claim that Lana Del Rey's tune, Get Free, is stolen from Creep.
Copyright infringement is this, that you stole someone else's idea.
So I decided, well, let's put them both in the same key and let's see if they actually
[A] sound the same.
When you [G] were here before, couldn't look you [B] in the eye.
Just like an [C] angel, skin makes me [Cm] cry.
This is [G] my commitment, my modern [B] manifesto.
I'm doing [C] it for all of us, never [Cm] got a chance.
First verse was Creep.
And then when the modern manifesto part, or this is my commitment, came in, that was Lana Del Rey.
[A] Could you really tell where one stopped and the other one began?
Not really.
It sounds pretty similar.
So the real question is, why is Radiohead suing Lana Del Rey when they got sued for
stealing the air that I breathe from the Hollies with the [G] tune Creep?
Well let's check that out and see how that sounds.
If I could make a wish, [B] I think I'd pass.
[C] Couldn't think [Cm] of anything I [G] need.
When you were here before, couldn't look you [B] in the eye.
Just [C] like an angel, skin [Cm] makes me cry.
This [G] is my commitment, my modern [B] manifesto.
Well they all have the same [F] chord pattern.
One, three [B] major, [C] four, [Cm] four minor.
[N] So the Hollies, Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood that wrote The Air That I Breathe sued Radiohead
back in the 90s and won co-writing credit on the song Creep because it was obviously
influenced by The Air That I Breathe.
Now does that mean the songs are exactly the same?
No.
The Air That I Breathe is a much better song than Creep.
The chorus is phenomenal on it.
There's really no comparison between the two songs.
It's just the verses share the similarity of the chord progression even though The Air
That I Breathe is in a completely different key.
So here's a tweet by Lana Del Rey.
She says, It's true about the lawsuit.
Although I know my song wasn't inspired by Creep, Radiohead feel it was and want 100%
of the publishing.
I offered up to 40 over the last few months but they will only accept 100.
The lawyers have been relentless so we will deal with it in court.
And then Boy George tweets, Radiohead was sued by the Hollies and now Radiohead are
suing Lana Del Rey.
Utter madness.
As a huge fan of Radiohead, this is a completely tone deaf move.
Aren't they rich enough that they need to get what little money this song generated?
This wasn't like a massively big hit that generated millions of dollars.
Radiohead has been a huge band for 25 years.
They certainly don't need the money.
This really reminds me of when Metallica was out there suing college students for downloading
stuff free from Napster.
Here's this band, they were the biggest metal band in the world, worth hundreds of millions
of dollars and they're worried about people file sharing.
It's a completely ridiculous move.
It's probably brought on by their legal [F] team or by their management company or something
and the band probably [C#] has very little to do with it.
But if they do have something to do with it, they should probably stop.
Especially since the fact that they already got sued for the [F] tune anyways.
That's all for now.
