Bittersweet Symphony, Radiohead's 'Creep,' Music Sampling Lawsuits, and the Gorillaz

Perplexity resolves the Bittersweet Symphony dispute: The Verve sampled a 1965 Rolling Stones song, their former manager sued, and The Verve handed over all royalties plus songwriting credit to Jagger and Richards — though those rights were returned to Richard Ashcroft in 2019. The Radiohead-Hollies parallel (Creep vs. The Air That I Breathe) is then discussed, with Joe noting that both the Hollies connection and Lana Del Rey's Get Free have been compared to Creep. The conversation broadens: inspiration versus theft, how Elvis's entire career was built on Black musical traditions, how the music industry is uniquely litigious. The wildest example caps the discussion — the Gorillaz built 'Clint Eastwood' from a preset demo beat on a children's toy keyboard and somehow got away with it.
Shane Gillis's Trump impression isn't just a vocal impression — it's a fully inhabitable character that makes everything funnier. When a contestant with deformed arms walked out and 'Trump' reacted with his face, the crowd lost it before a word was spoken.
