Already got the rights on the name.  No royalties for you!

And of course I know all the tax havens.

I don't like St Vincent anymore because she's a member of the alt-right, so I'm siding with Nirvana on this one

I think this is fine despite St Vincent's recent KKK membership being exposed

Copyright laws should be the same for everyone, someone's funding of isis training camps should be judged separately

Er yeah I don't think "I like her better and she looks nice" stands up well in court!

Darn right too. We are men of integrity - no pretty face would put that one past us.
If she was playing at a venue or studio I was at, I would stand there while she smiled and fluttered her eyelashes.

Then I would say ..."that's all very nice, miss. But there's the little matter of that Nirvana chorus you stole. It's time to give credit back".

Listened to it without reference to the Nirvana song and wouldn't have guessed that's the one she's been accused of stealing because I was too distracted by how much the music UNDER the vocal line sounds like that Lenny Kravitz song.

I never liked her since she put her elbow through that Picasso and when the museum complained she suggested "maybe some orphans can pay for it"

Pauline Walnuts

I wasn't keen on her since that Martin Bormann tattoo, I mean 15 roses? Just bad taste.

Got the album now and it's full of cheeky references to other famous songs from Sheena Easton to Pink floyd

GoblinAhFuckScary

got hyped around that single but i thought the album was... not good

Was able to guess which Nirvana song it was, never got St Vincent at all and found that period she was being raved about to very tiresome, but don't see enough to warrant any kind of serious accusation in that. Even if it were intentional it's very very little to go off

It'd only have some kind of validity if she had a rep for chasing people over ripping her off, especially when you consider Nirvana's highly frequent references to how they thought Smells Like Teen Spirit ripped off Boston

willbo

how come noone ever talks about how Polly ripped off Bryan Adam's Run to you?


willbo

I always think "run to you" sounds like Nirvana's "polly" when I hear "run to you" on the radio.
