I mean, the reason to buy it would be if you listen to the majority of your music on vinyl and like this album and want to listen to it. But for “purity” standards…no
soooo brutal to be an 18 year old that’s one of the handful of biggest pop stars in the world with a massive album
well that's not even remotely the same thing haha. First off the song is public domain, so it's entirely unrelated. But second off, the band based the song off the song's melody. If anything it's like 1 step, 3 step where Olivia wrote a song based off the New Years Day piano chords and immediately credited them because it was intentionally based off that song
Look, I don’t think paramore should be getting money, but the first time I heard Good 4 u, I immediately thought “wow this sounds a lot like Misery Business” (completely unaware that this is even a discussion)
There have been so many more egregious examples of one song sounding like another that most assuredly did not end in giving up writing credits. This is stupid.
same. First time I heard that chorus I said “hey this sounds like misery business”. im sure there are more egregious examples, but how often is it one of if not the biggest pop song that sounds enough like another huge pop rock hit that was only released 13 years ago? Add in the age of the internet and social media and it spreads to a lot more people
Looks like the pub on Good 4 U has been updated: SONY/ATV ALLEGRO OBO DANIEL LEONARD NIGRO MUSIC: 6.25% SONY/ATV TUNES LLC OBO LIV LAF LUV: 18.75% WC MUSIC CORP OBO FBR MUSIC: 6:25% WC MUSIC CORP OBO BUT FATHER I JUST WANT TO SING: 12.5% WC MUSIC CORP OBO JOSH'S MUSIC: 12.5% SONY/ATV TUNES LLC : 18.75% SONY/ATV ALLEGRO: 6.25% WC MUSIC CORP: 18.75% My takeaway with these publishing shenanigans is that large corporations have devised clever new revenue streams that are conveniently veiled by the "is it a ripoff?" discourse.
