Radiohead claimed that the similarities were unintentional and subconscious, but agreed to give a percentage of the songwriting royalties and songwriting credit to Hammond and Hazlewood.
Hammond and Hazlewood sued Radiohead for plagiarism and won. The song became a major hit for The Hollies in 1974. The song they were sued over? “Creep.” The song shares a similar chord progression and melody to the song “The Air That I Breathe,” written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood and initially released on Hammond’s 1972 album It Never Rains in Southern California. Now, here’s where the plot thickens: what some news outlets are missing is that Radiohead was previously sued for plagiarism. Their lawyers have been relentless, so we will deal with it in court.” Although I know my song wasn’t inspired by “Creep,” Radiohead feel it was and want 100% of the publishing – I offered up to 40 over the last few months but they will only accept 100. Lana Del Rey tweeted yesterday: “It’s true about the lawsuit. In an interview with Variety, Bill Hochberg, an attorney who specializes in music copyright law, said that Lana’s song is “way too close to what is a rather unusual set of chord changes and a very distinctive melody line.Your newsfeeds might be buzzing with the news that Radiohead are suing Lana Del Rey over her song “Get Free,” which they say plagiarizes their 1993 hit “Creep.” Some people, on the other hand, believe that Radiohead has a strong case against the singer. Me after listening to creep by radiohead trynna get conclusion where the fuck they think it is like get free #RadioheadIsOverParty /zToAZe97Y0
It's like suing someone for breaking the window of the house you're squatting in. Now Radiohead are suing Lana Del Rey for ripping off creep. Radiohead got sued by The Hollies, because creep was a rip off of the air that I breathe. Some fans on Twitter expressed their opinions about the issue using the hashtag #RadioheadIsOverParty:Įveryone in 2018: #RadioheadIsOverParty /kkLi4beRXN Hammond and Hazlewood also split royalties with the band. Radiohead’s “Pablo Honey” album, which includes the disputed track, now credits Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood (who wrote “The Air That I Breathe”) as co-writers of “Creep”. Radiohead was also sued for copying the chord progression and melody of “Creep” from the 1972 hit song “The Air That I Breathe” by The Hollies. “I just want to let you know, regardless if it gets taken down off of everything, that those sentiments that I wrote… that I really am going to strive for them, even if that song is not on future physical releases of the record,” she said. The song, like the Lust For Life album, features more hopeful and positive themes compared to Lana’s previous works but retains the deeply personal lyrics and melancholic tunes she is best known for. During a concert in Denver last January 7, Lana referred to ‘Get Free’ as her “personal manifesto”. The singer also said that the song might be removed from the album as part of the lawsuit.
Their lawyers have been relentless, so we will deal with it in court. Although I know my song wasn’t inspired by Creep, Radiohead feel it was and want 100% of the publishing – I offered up to 40 over the last few months but they will only accept 100. It has been reported that the Radiohead team is hoping that the members “either receive compensation or be credited on the list of songwriters to receive royalties,” but Lana stated in her tweet that they wanted to receive “100% of the publishing”. The song “Get Free” is the last track on her 2017 album “Lust For Life.” Lana Del Rey, who has released 5 major albums and a handful of EPs, is best known for her songs “Summertime Sadness”, “Young and Beautiful” (which was used as soundtrack for the 2013 film version of ‘The Great Gatsby’), and “Love”, among others. American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey has taken to Twitter to confirm reports that Radiohead is suing her for copyright infringement because her song “ Get Free” allegedly copied elements from the band’s 1992 hit song “ Creep“.
