audio clips of My Sweet Lord and He's So Fine mixed together to demonstrate the similarities between the two songs...new and improved over my first rendering of this musical juxtaposition.

Excellent work!

@SherwinGooch , thanx for the compliment.

@foxmass58: Thanks, again. I used this as a reference for an extra-credit paper in Mark Rubel's Studio Recording class, MUS134, at Parkland College. My conclusion: In this instance the court was correct. It was truly a case of unconscious plagiarism. (What a shame!)

@SherwinGooch, you honor me by using my mashup in a college course. thanx for sharing that 411.

I definitely would buy "My sweet Lord" instead of "He's so fine".

My Sweet Lord has some diminished chords the other does not; but here's an idea; if you like he's so fine; buy it; and if you like My Sweet Lord; get that....

Very nicely done!

@Voex1966 I thought he only had to pay the amount his former manager paid to buy the rights to "He's So Fine." The judge learned that Harrison's former manager bought the rights for about $500K, and rather than have Harrison pay the approx. $1.5 million fine, the judge realized that the former manager was screwing Harrison. They guy got his money back...but still owned the rights to "He's So Fine." A fair trade I think.

0:22 - 0:39: The guitar solo of "My Sweet Lord" does not fit with "He's So Fine". That is the reason why George Harrison only had to pay 2 thirds of royalities.

might as well throw in the riff of Supersonic by Oasis there it would probably sound very fun like a jam session across generations!

The reason why they fit so well together is because they both use a really popular chord progression. That's it. The speed and mood of the songs are totally different and the melodies are different.

Was it just me, or did I hear a steam message noise in there?

Hope you don't mind, using this as a reference for extra credit in a college psychology course (Learning & Memory) regarding unintentional plagiarism. Thanks for posting =) Will be sure to cite!!

As George Harrison would say back in the mid-1970s, "this tune has nothing Bright about it".
