i also read a comment that he tweeted out a mashup of the 2 songs which is kinda cool

He real for this

How all legends should be:

But when a Twitter user said Rodrigo's song was "pretty much a direct lift", Costello replied: "This is fine by me.
"It's how rock & roll works," he wrote. "You take the broken pieces of another thrill and make a brand new toy."

He added: "That's what I did."
The veteran singer-songwriter also included hashtags referencing Bob Dylan's 1965 classic Subterranean Homesick Blues, which inspired Pump It Up; and Chuck Berry's 1956 single Too Much Monkey Business, which influenced the Dylan song.

Was responding to you saying she’s a multi millionaire, which means clearly she getting money from somewhere and that baffles me if it’s all from music and if it is, then Hayley really not winning much even if she getting 50%

Honestly don’t think I’ve seen a musician get this big so suddenly since Billie but with Billie I could understand since she had at least some talent goin for her

Anyways we getting too deep into this I also don’t give af bout this girl to be theorycrafting over her

Crazy to hear someone in Rock use that logic since it’s bedridden in Rap and they usually use it as a means to diminish Rap as an art form because it “steals” from other stuff.

Olivia rodrigo album has made like $20m plus this year alone

Generally the artist will get at least 15% of that which is $3m just off music for the year let alone what she’s making from endorsements, touring, being on a Disney show etc etc

Hayley not gonna make a ton off it for sure but eh I figure it’s about the credit more than anything

And yea true lmao let’s just leave it there

some older artists can be actual pricks when comes to this fair play for him to do this

Liking pop punk post ironically is dorkier.

learnt recently that Can I Kick It made zero money since lou reed said 'You can’t use it,’ he said, ‘Y’all can use it, but I get all the money from that.'”

Go listen to Joy Division with your razors then edgy mf

it’s certainly plausible that this was just a coincidence

I will

let's have a listening party

Precedent should be like 20% not 50% so people aren’t suing after every successful song. But this s*** is blatant and Paramore deserves credits and a check straight up.

Love what Elvis Costello said too, but, at the least, to protect smaller artists, there should be compensation for rip offs.

bout to run up unknown pleasures

Knew it was paramore since the first time i heard the song. Real ones know

lmao it's insane how seamless this is

Song dogshit compared to misery business.

nah shut up

the thing that worries me about this is that its not a straight rip, it just sounds extremely similar

how can you argue similarity in court? surely there is a large degree of subjectivity involved, not to mention the people arriving at the decision arent even musicians themselves?

the very fact that there are people in this thread who don’t agree with this tells me that the decision is conentious

lmaooo if it was a male singer it would be so much harder to argue

damn this goessssss

Thank God

I was wondering why it sounded so much like her. I’m so happy to hear this
