@Setanta,
Quote:It's funny how they work, too. I just posted "Brown-eyed Handsome Man" by Chuck Berry in the geezer's music thread. Although the songs as not exactly alike, the Beach Boys use the same opening guitar riff for "Surfin' USA."
It is, however, "exactly" the same as chuck's entire melody and riffs from Chuck's "Sweet Little Sixteen." Chuck got a big-ass copyright infringement award from them, as I recall.
