Why didn't the Kingsmen, The McCoys and The Troggs all sue each other?

[Floogeldy]

This is a test.

1. Well, for one thing, the Kingsmen totally ripped off the Wailers

And they readily admitted it. :D

[chicagojoe]

2. Covering songs does not constitute ripping anyone off.

[flamingyouth]

4. They readily admitted that they copied their act after the Wailers

They were huge fans of theirs.

3. You are correct, my friend..

If you are a fan of garage rock/punk, check out the "Boss Hoss Rock N Roll Revival Hour" on my station; if you are a fan, you might recognize the host from one of the best retro-garage bands of the 80's...

5. When is it on?

I'm very interested indeed.

[enigmatic]

6. Thursdays at 5-7pm Pacific/8-10pm Eastern....

6-8am PT on Tuesdays, and 1-3pm PT on Saturdays...

10. The Miracle Workers?

7. Still waiting for someone to name the three songs I'm talking about . . .

. . . and why?

What was the Wailers song?

8. You mean because....

Louie, Louie, Hang On Sloopy and Wild Thing all had the same I, IV, V, IV chord pattern?

[johnnie]

9. Chuck would have sued then..lol

On the Mccoys first album they did a version of "Fever" that sounds pretty close to "Hang on sloopy".

11. I guess that's the point then.....

I-IV-V-IV being the 'classic' rocknroll pattern, CB could have sued just about everyone if he had wanted.

Of course, Chuck always wanted his money up front, in cash anyway.
