Talk:Look What You've Done

message: I noticed a while back that the opening chords of this song are almost (if not completely) identical to those in "One More for Love" by Five for Fighting on the album The Battle for Everything.
Is this notable?

thread_title:  Similarities to "One More for Love" 

message: Obviously the title lines from the song appear directly in John Lennon's White Album song, but has anyone ever really criticized the piano intro for being similar to that song? The chords don't really seem to be notably similar. Now, the intro does call to mind a non-Beatles John Lennon song, "Imagine," but that style of playing is not particularly unique and the comparison ends after the first chord. From my own personal perspective, the fact that the opening recalls "Imagine," combined with the fact that lines from the song, and specifically the lines from the song that give identity to this song, are word-for-word from "Sexy Sadie," further combined with the fact that this sort of thing happens all the time with Jet, is enough for me personally to criticize the band, but I think, unless a citation can be found, a better way to phrase those lines is to say something like, "The song recalls Beatles songs, specifically "Sexy Sadie," the title lines being directly quoted from the song." Or something like that. At any rate, I don't think that the thing about the piano intro being similar to "Sexy Sadie" should stay (unless somebody 'important' has noted similarities), because it isn't the same chords or anything, and I've never heard anyone make that similarity.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.16.250.90 (talk) 19:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Similarity to "Sexy Sadie" 

message: I don't see what is wrong if Jet took inspiration from the Beatles, Lennon or anyone else.  That is all part of the artistic process.  Nothing illegal or immoral about it.  Happens all the time.  I am sure Lennon & McCartney did it as well.  In my own writing, I take as much inspiration as I can from other writers.  There has been a lot of popular music written, and words and musical scores will have similarities no matter what anyone rights.  Unless there is a copyright infringement, or clear plagiarism, there is no problem.  Taking a few lines from another writer, if that happened in this case, is "fair use." --146.115.42.192 (talk) 16:45, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
