Pumpkins songs that rip off other artists
Admittedly I'm late to the party, but I've seen a lot of posts reflecting on the similarities between "1979" and The Frogs' "Pleasure".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYRto3kmtQo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8BcubKDbE0 While that might (possibly) be up for debate, an obvious song that Billy ripped off lyrically is "We're An American Band" by Grand Funk Railroad with "Cash Car Star". Billy literally ripped the song off word for word. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiBHfXnbyXg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz9KVcLCUek What are some other Pumpkins songs where Billy obviously ripped off another song/artist? |

That's not ripping off, it's a reference. Artists do it all the time.
Off the top of my head, there's Pink Floyd's Let There Be More Light - "For there revealed in glowing robes was Lucy in the sky" |

In Corgan's celebration of Rush, he mentions ripping off parts of this song for Cherub Rock.

The Television song Marquee Moon has the same chords as Cherub Rock.
https://youtu.be/jlbunmCbTBA?t=8m12s I actually don't think Billy ripped it off intentionally, because it's actually just an ascending major scale. Sounds cool tho. Last edited by dreams of glass : 03-23-2015 at 03:36 AM. |

Billy said he wrote "Daydream", trying to write a song like My Bloody Valentine.
I think it's that song he used as a reference point. They are both very different though... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAS9uY3-Fx8 |

Quite frankly, Don Brewer would have a strong case in court against Billy if the song were to ever be commercially released. Last edited by Jelly Blossom : 03-23-2015 at 01:51 PM. |

What, the words "Lucy in the sky" don't appear in the lyrics of "Lucy in the sky with diamonds"?
Did you not realise that that's the only example of this occurring either? Did you read any of those links in that Google search? |

melody is similar in both examples, positive the references passed thru bills head when he wrote both today and shame
