Lady Antebellum "Need you now" Vs. Alan Parsons "Eye in the Sky"

Lady Antebellum and Alan Parsons mix - or as I like to call it - Alan Antebellum's "Need your eye in the sky now"

Its a lawsuit waiting to happen. Come on, Mr. Parsons - its just not right - go get your share - they could at least give you some credit! I'm sure their excuse is - "None of us have ever heard that song before".

If George Harrison did it, than Lady Antebellum can surely do it.

@Platyduck12 ....what the fuck ...??? who the fuck is "Lady Antebellum"...im just learning that they are some country music copy cats that stole some hook ups froma a great group that even to this day is rememebered by millions world wide and years and years before and after this hill billies group that you like appeared in the music scene. this group will be forgoten in a couple of years and Alan Parsons will always be remembered for many years to come. Alan Parsons is no 'has been'

It's really just the chord progression that is the same, and for that much only in the hook is it the same. The melodies are distinct. Parts of the melodies will overlap with any similar chord progression. As we all know, you can't copyright a chord progression. For a great example of how hundreds of hit pop songs have done the same, check out a funny video - search "four chord song axis of awesome". Critics shouting plagiarism may change their tune... no pun intended.

@Platyduck12 You have never heard of the Alan Parson's Project??? It is a classic band...

[donpfeff]

I don't hear it. Sorry.

[zappajohn]

There are five key notes (B, E, F#, G#, and D#) that characterize both choruses, but the notes are not in identical sequences or rythmns. The melodies diverge from there. If Alan Parsons thought that there was a strong case and he was upset enough, he probably would have acted by now. If he has, it would be interesting to see the results. The comparisons between the two bands and the comment that this is a ploy to sell records are nonsense produced by idle minds.

I'm willing to grant them subconscious copying, which might happen if someone heard and liked a song many years earlier then forgot about it.

@TaraChowsPenis

You're trolling, which isn't good.

[vlucidity]

not even close ,, you all are hearing what you want,, and since music is made up mostly of the same few cords , if you know anything about music you would know that would make some parts sound the same ,, this is a bunch of people with nothing better to do then to spread trouble ,, get a life who cares both songs are great to listen to ,, and who owns a cord now a days anyhow LOL

@healthypanda I agree, I've tried not to be negative because of that. Especially the videos of people's with disabilities, it really isn't funny, these actually people read the comments.

[healthypanda]

@toucansam3 Yes, but doesn't mean that some of the other idiots on this site know that. I've kind of lost my faith in humanity after reading Youtube comments.
