[stax on the mull]

Not sure if this one has been posted before, likely it has as it comes up in one of the Joy Division documentaries where the band confess to using the riff off an obscure soul tune to make their song "Interzone".





Maybe less people know that the backing group on the Nolan Porter (N.F. Porter) version is made up of recently ex-members of the Mothers of Invention, including Jimmy Carl Black, Ray Estrada and Lowell George.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Probably made mention of it but:

Blondie - Island of Lost Souls.
Choirboys - Run to Paradise.

Their choruses.

Tune on the Landcruiser Prado ad and the Weddo's Barrett's Privateers

Actaully while were on this, do you know.
3 preeminent love songs from George Harrison and Eric Clapton were all about the same Woman. (Patty Boyd)
An ex lovers of Harrison and Slowhand, she Married George Harrison first for 9 years and soon left him for Clapton. (Yet Clapton and George still remained friends, and George got him to come play lead guitar on "While my Guitar Gently Weeps, when The Beatles were fracturing)
George wrote arguably the greatest love songoff all time "Something"
Clapton Wrote "Layla" about her and what i would view as the weakest of the three songs "Wonderfull tonight"
Just something for you.

I was looking back through this thread and found this. Do you know that her little sister Jenny Boyd (who married Mick Fleetwood) also had a song written about her by Donovan - Jennifer Juniper. Popular girls back then. Jenny has written a book where she interviews some of the most famous musicians about their music creativity. Fascinating book: Icons of Rock.

Also an interesting interview.

Ghostbusters was ripped from Huey Lewis I need a new drug.

 

[Electronic_Renaissance]

Ghostbusters was ripped from Huey Lewis I need a new drug.

Yeah, that's a well known one. Seems a bit of bitterness on both side on that one (what else could you expect?)

Another well known one that may have been mentioned, I believe they reached an out of court settlement.

Watched a few Rick Beato interviews.

Billy from Pumpkins was pissed Kurt sold one of his riffs.

The doors one was funny they used to ring up and say please light my fire.
The radio station said ok stop calling up .

Interesting that some of B52s songs went for over 20 mins and they wrote down lyrics on a wall.

I didn't know simple minds didn't write don't you believe about me.


I don't believe Johnson wrote songs fresh on back in black.
They reakon Bons lyic lasted to flick in the switch .

That's just me.
