Write Haywood's lawyer.

This song is so many other songs it could single handedly clog the courts. Reminds me of the DJ Shadow frustration/surrender that you can only split a song's royalties 50/50 once.

MJ's "Jam" more than anything else imo... same hook.

And anyone defending it hasn't had enough James Brown in their lives to recognize utter vanillatude when it's staring them square in the face.

It's a better song than "Living in America"

what became of that whole "suing songs for being vague soundalikes" thing? I wasn't really following. Was the decision upheld? Have loads of people followed suit? Could massive attack sue over this?
