[bomp] Re: Georgy Girl




Melvin says...
<< I just can't get it out of my head; it's a great fucking song  there  (or 
fragment at least).  Here's a legal inquiry.  If  there's no one that gets the 
legal credit for this song (in spite of it being in  the movie),  could 
someone (maybe me or someone else) rip off some of the  cord/melody of that  
particular song into a 2005 version of it.  A  friend of mine wants me to  write a 
song for a mutual friend of hers, and I  am thinking of great lyrics  myself to 
this 
melody.  What could be  the legal repercussions?  >>>
 
Well, at least that'd be ONE way to find out who wrote it...Release it  with 
your name as songwriter, and whoever sues you is the likely candidate.  :>  
But actually, I was in a band once that tried to turn that fragment  into a 
whole song. The film has one and a half verses, so I made up the rest. I  think my 
last verse was something like "Gonna leave her, gonna leave her, I'm  gonna 
curse the day I met her, I don't need her, I don't need her, Gonna try  hard to 
forget her. Tambourine Man, hound her." I tried taping a version once,  years 
ago. I never finished it. Maybe one of these days I'll go back to  it.
