The Beatles, Ozzy Osbourne, Lady Gaga and More! Why do so many music icons love TEA?
The Beatles, Ozzy Osbourne, Lady Gaga and More! Why do so many music icons love TEA?
My first job in the music industry was “Tape Operator”, or “Tape Op” for short. It's basically a glorified tea boy, but far more tea than glory.
So i know a thing or two about tea, and how important it is in long recording sessions. So in this episode I'm looking at the pop and rock stars who love tea, they consume it in large quantities, get upset when they can't have it and have written songs dedicated to the drink.

    Back when MTV had no issues with being prejudice against Martha Wash because of her size. Totally uncalled for. If I remember Prince in his New Generation Outfit had a plus sized female singer in his bad that was fantastic and featured her prominently in hits like Diamonds and Pearls. Sure, they could have featured Zelma Davis in the videos too, but that was awful not giving Martha Davis the credit she deserved on her vocals by putting her in the videos too.

Sam Smith stole from Tom Petty Few songs that was blatantly stolen. For the life in me I just don't hear anything remotely similar to Kookabura vocals to Ham's flute and Men At Work lost the lawsuit!!!

    • @Traxploitation
      @Traxploitation 11 днів тому

      Those aren't all the same at all. In and amongst genuine plagiarism you have a cover version and bad verdict in a copyright trial. Elvis didn't "steal" from Willie Mae Thornton. He covered a song she also recorded. You could argue that Leiber and Stoller wrongly denied her a writing credit, but elvis didn't steal anything from her. Cover versions aren't stealing. 🤷‍♂️ George Harrison didn't steal from Ronnie Mack either. It was ruled he MAY have subconsciously interpolated the melody but as it was a civil case (not criminal) it only required the jury to be 51% sure not 99% like in a criminal trial. The kookaburra melody is note for note the same as the flute line in Down Under. That's not really debatable, what is debatable is if it was substantially similar enough to be infringement. I don't think it was.

    The original group that wrote the song should have split songwriting credits with her. Not like anybody would have ever heard their version of it without her input.

    • @Traxploitation
      @Traxploitation 20 днів тому

      The group that originally recorded it, didn't write it. Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn wrote it. It was just an album filler track, not a single. You're right though...They definitely still should have given her a writing credit, but just on merit. The writing splits must be agreed prior to a release so it being a successful single, or more successful than the first release, wouldn't be relevant as Toni's version hadn't been released yet. Nobody has heard it at the point the writing spilts were agreed.
