“There’s nothing new under the sun” A phrase adapted from the Book of Ecclesiastes; the author complains frequently in the book about the monotony of life. The entire passage reads, “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”

Artists are always quoting each other. Bowie quoted "Day in the life" in his track "Young Americans" with the line "I heard the news today oh boy". I don't think anyone but the record labels would be bothered.
In classical music it might be called a “quote” and could be considered an homage or compliment. “Come Together” immediately moves on after two lines! There was litigation- the Chuck Berry tune was owned by Morris Levy, who was a crime figure/music publisher/founder of Strawberries record stores. Lennon’s “Rock and Roll” album was made (at least in part) to satisfy Morris’s settlement as it included several tunes that Morris also owned the copyrights of. So the sales of the Rock and Roll album more than made restitution.
This reminded me of when I was very young that my grandmother would put on a Chuck Berry record and start dancing and then I would dance with her. She had a very hard life but she did like her scotch and she liked her Coors with salt on the rim.
There.is a Led Zeppelin song that was definitely stolen, the writer even performed it on British TV when Jmy Page was a teen. He didn't find out LZ recorded it for over twenty years. By the time he sued, the court said "too late, LZ gets all the money"
I'd wager that Chuck wasn't nearly as disappointed by Come Together, as he was with Yoko vocal-bombing their jam session on national television. W-W-W-W-O-O-O-O-A-A-A-A-H-H-H-H !!!

I definately think speed of the song is such an underrated part of composition So much music would be so much more popular if it were at the right speed.
this limitation only exists within the confines of western classical music theory. there are quite literally an infinite number of notes. some are indistinguishable to the human ear from other notes, while others just sound wrong to you because you're stuck on western music. both are worth exploring, true temperament (as opposed to the even temperament you're used to) has already been thoroughly explored in western music to great effect and many artists are currently experimenting with microtonality. even with an identical melody you can play with the rhythm to make a song sound and feel completely different.
As 50 cent said “give the money to the homies” they’ll help you settle the dispute. If you don’t know what that means that’s a hard lesson to learn from the homies.

How is writing in a style/genre the same as copying a song? Does that mean only the first person to write a blues song or a country song has the right to sing/write a blues or country song and everyone else is hijacking the style/genre?

Sure buddy go off on false accusations, Cynthia was not a damsel in distress who was stupid, she was a smart independent woman who would have never stayed with John if he was the way people who wait 40 years later to deface him say he is, if you don’t know someone and u don’t do you’re research then u can’t judge someone so harshly and act like you’re morally superior than them when Ik u and everyone has done a lot of fucked up things in their life pls.

Are you stupid???? Someone like Elvis rode off the sweat of black artists and publicly admited that was plastered all over the tv because whites hated seeing black artists sing black music but if Elvis did it was ok, the Beatles wouldn’t play stadiums where they could paid so much money just because the audience would be segregated, the music of the 50s was a stepping stone but it was the same blues and early rock and skiffle it was always gonna be. The Beatles hero’s where little Richard, buddy holly, chuck berry, if you sit here and honestly say they rode off their “success” then you are honestly just compensating extremely hard, Paul writing black bird was something nearly no musicians were doing at the height of racial segregation. Michael Jackson was a awful childishly greedy person for that and sorry to tell you Paul got his songs back.

That's Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane on his t shirt. Which is fitting bc Grace Slick stole the song from her brother-in-law, and it became Jefferson Airplanes biggest hit after White Rabbit.
What I find interesting is that ppl vilified Michael Jackson for buying the Beatles catalog ( and I agree). However, this was the only Beatles song that MJ performed live.
I have sung this song as well as mimicked the beat and rhythm. But I had never thought it said "shoot me" but instead as a "shuk-tunn" sort of sound like at the beginning
This proves that the "All bands copy The Beatles" argument is false. Even The Beatles stole for inspiration. There's nothing wrong with it in my eyes. You are constantly improving music together.
Ok so since you posted this I'm going to give you a lesson in concept and respect. The song itself is meant to be a type of "parody" or "ironic" and a reflection of society by talking about a single part or general individuals in everyday society. These type of lyrics were and are still used all the time. Zeppelin did it as well. Many artists have done this. Chuck Berry was one of John's major influences also. So for him to put a lyric like that that resembles something like what Chuck had written an said is literally like him paying homage to Chuck. If you listen to the lyrics you can tell that the direction of the song, or the intention of it is obviously meant to get you thinking about some of the hypocrisy we have in society. How certain figures in society act. It's meant to be ironic. It's meant to reflect. In my opinion him putting those lyrics in there only speaks to how in sync he was with the music and his own artistry as an individual. It speaks to how the man thought and wrote the music... and I guarantee you that the thought of stealing or taking that line in the lyrics never crossed his mind...
I’m still a huge classic rock fan but the more I dig into old black music from America the more I see that everybody from Zeppelin to the Beatles and even Elvis directly ripped off those older artists because they recorded stuff in many cases without any property rights. Pretty shameful shit lol!
FOR EVERYONES INFORMATION, JOHN LENNON HAD RUN IT BY CHUCK BERRY BEFORE RELEASING THE ALBUM. THIS IS FACT. Chuck berry was Lennons idol, he wouldn't rip off Chuck like that.
It seemed like that homage was totally ok. Not that anyone cares about this, but in 2008 I wrote a song that just quoted don't really put your head on my shoulder. It's supposed to quote it
I think if you've heard the song you'd get the impression that John is not stealing here, but is making pop culture references. Like Billy Joel's we didn't start the fire, etc

And that is the proof that McCartney is the very genius and brain of The Beatles
If you think this is stealing you don't understand music or sampling either.
That's Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane on his t shirt. Which is fitting bc Grace Slick stole the song from her brother-in-law, and it became Jefferson Airplanes biggest hit after White Rabbit.
Wow it’s almost like there was a whole court case desiccated to this in the 70’s. Shocking content
Mind blown!
Another example would be The Last Shadow Puppets ‘Sweet Dreams, TN’ … check out Roy Orbison ‘Runnin’ Scared’
What I find interesting is that ppl vilified Michael Jackson for buying the Beatles catalog ( and I agree). However, this was the only Beatles song that MJ performed live.
I have sung this song as well as mimicked the beat and rhythm. But I had never thought it said "shoot me" but instead as a "shuk-tunn" sort of sound like at the beginning
This proves that the "All bands copy The Beatles" argument is false. Even The Beatles stole for inspiration. There's nothing wrong with it in my eyes. You are constantly improving music together.
The world needs Dave Chappelle to bring Whoopi Goldberg a bucket of KFC .
Morris Levy also worked for the Genovese Crime Family. His office was a popular meeting place for Vincent "The Chin" Gigante.
Its inspiration,just like where did you sleep last night by nirvana
i agree its inspiration, but where did you sleep last night was a cover, not an inspiration
Morris Levy had lots of friends in NYC who could take care of problems like John. It really makes me wonder sometimes.
As you can see, he clearly repeated 5 words, he stole the WHOLE SONG! GR
Ok so since you posted this I'm going to give you a lesson in concept and respect. The song itself is meant to be a type of "parody" or "ironic" and a reflection of society by talking about a single part or general individuals in everyday society. These type of lyrics were and are still used all the time. Zeppelin did it as well. Many artists have done this. Chuck Berry was one of John's major influences also. So for him to put a lyric like that that resembles something like what Chuck had written an said is literally like him paying homage to Chuck. If you listen to the lyrics you can tell that the direction of the song, or the intention of it is obviously meant to get you thinking about some of the hypocrisy we have in society. How certain figures in society act. It's meant to be ironic. It's meant to reflect. In my opinion him putting those lyrics in there only speaks to how in sync he was with the music and his own artistry as an individual. It speaks to how the man thought and wrote the music... and I guarantee you that the thought of stealing or taking that line in the lyrics never crossed his mind...
I’m still a huge classic rock fan but the more I dig into old black music from America the more I see that everybody from Zeppelin to the Beatles and even Elvis directly ripped off those older artists because they recorded stuff in many cases without any property rights. Pretty shameful shit lol!
If Chuck was alive at the time I think I would have discussed with him some fair sharing. I imagine both could afford to share credit
Where did you get that grace slick T shirt ? I want
Grace Slick was a babe when she was young and knew exactly when to get out of the game before she looked like and old fool on stage (her words).
Yes Chuck berry deserves his recognition, I lived very close to Chuck and he's a great person
Lyrics are music are different
John..if you're gonna steal music...you better sign real legible autographs for the rest of forever
Poor Chuck EVERYONE was ripping him off back in the day and they still do!
FOR EVERYONES INFORMATION, JOHN LENNON HAD RUN IT BY CHUCK BERRY BEFORE RELEASING THE ALBUM. THIS IS FACT. Chuck berry was Lennons idol, he wouldn't rip off Chuck like that.
“Cuz baby you’re a firework!” - Its not stealing I’m just quoting for my song.
But dude, that shirt...WoW
Grace is one...(no, scratch that)
THE ORIGINAL BADASS CHICK
👍👍
Lennon isn’t saying shoot me. It’s shoot/ shoop with slap back/ reverb.
What's crazy is Little Richard Discovered the Beatles, Rolling Stones and ???
It seemed like that homage was totally ok. Not that anyone cares about this, but in 2008 I wrote a song that just quoted don't really put your head on my shoulder. It's supposed to quote it
Dude are you using cool edit pro for you audio editing?
I think if you've heard the song you'd get the impression that John is not stealing here, but is making pop culture references. Like Billy Joel's we didn't start the fire, etc
Wouldn't be the first time someone stole from Berry
