How can Puddle of Mudd in "Famous" use the lyric "money for nothing and the chicks are for free"
Dire Straits in 'Money for Nothing" - "money for nothing and the chicks are free."

I'm sure there have been situations where artist have sued over lyrical content like that before, but I've always felt it was simply a way of paying honor or respect to the individual who wrote the line.

In 1969, Lennon composed the song "Come Together" for the Beatles' album Abbey Road. Inspired by the Chuck Berry tune "You Can't Catch Me", it bore too much of a melodic resemblance to the original—and Lennon took the third line of the second verse ("Here come old flat-top") for the new lyric. Publisher Morris Levy brought a lawsuit for infringement, and the case was due to be heard in a New York court in December 1973.

To avoid returning to New York for the court case, Lennon agreed to record at least three songs that Levy published on his next album (after Mind Games) and Levy dropped the suit.

Yep, I always felt like the melody is what would get your arse in a sling. I guess one of the biggest trails was when George Harrison was sued for My Sweet Lord.

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't believe Charles ever tried to hide that one. He openly admitted that it was an old gospel riff that he poached. Great links. God I love that Staple Singers song.

Now on the guitar riff stuff, I would say that everybody was poaching Chuck Berry. As Bob Segar proclaims.......all of Chuck's children out there playing his licks.

And let's not forget those titans of classic rock and roll.....Huey Lewis and the News suing Ray Parker Junior. Ghostbusters versus I Need A New Drug.

The opening of this song (which the Beatles did for BBC radio, so they definitely knew it) was later used as the closing for "The Ballad Of John & Yoko"

Drake recently ripped off around 16 bars or so of Rappin 4 Tay's Classic "Playaz Club" & had to pay him a mint. Sure he considered it the cost of doing business at this point.
