Uh, isn't it great that the, uh, the guy who produces giant budget films has literally zero knowledge of the concept of good lighting? Isn't that...
HughezyHOST
They give him 300 million to make Fast X, but he, he's like, "What do you mean the light's behind me? Computers." Anyway, so Lemmy, are you ready for some Vin Diesel giving us Stay With Me from, by Sam Smith?
Little LemmiHOST
Uh, yes, but, uh, first I would like to, uh, rebut what you said about the high production movies, and he's going into these, like, really simple music videos.
Little LemmiHOST
First of all, his acting career buddies probably don't support his music career because his music career is probably a passion project, and it's probably the point that the entire room is void of everything when he's so used to high budget all up action in your face type shit.

Famous Sams for 400, please.
Adam AizerHOST
His song Stay With Me bears a startling resemblance to Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down.
Jamey EisenbergPANELIST
Oh.
Jamey EisenbergPANELIST

Although he did do a cover of Sam Fender's song 17 Going Under.

St- Sta- Stay With Me and I'm Not Giving Up from my first album.
Anthony MasonHOST
Yeah.
Sam SmithGUEST
Um, Dance With A Stranger-
Sam SmithGUEST
Yes.
Anthony MasonHOST
Um, which I hadn't been aware of until, until you said it on stage, um, and I read about it.
Anthony MasonHOST
Which was that, um, th- that they said there was a similarity between Stay With Me and I Won't Back Down.
Sam SmithGUEST
Mm-hmm.
QuestloveGUEST
...
QuestloveGUEST
Sam Smith's Stay With Me is-
Kristin RobinsonHOST
Yes
QuestloveGUEST
... is a great example where someone, someone at, uh, s- someone at Yale had, uh, during the, the, the Stay With Me situation, if your listeners are familiar, um, basically there was a thing where they were like, "Well, is Sam Smith's Stay With Me based on Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down?" And this, uh-
Kristin RobinsonHOST
Hmm
QuestloveGUEST
... either someone that went to y- Yale or Princeton, I think it's Yale, did this whole thing where they were like, similar to people who write fiction, there's really only nine places that you could logistically go-

But then Pharrell and Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines was found to have infringed Marvin Gaye's Got to Give It Up because of the feel.
Anant RautHOST
And then you have other cases like Sam Smith's Stay With Me, did it infringe Tom Petty's Won't Back Down over the chord progression.
Anant RautHOST
George Harrison's My Sweet Lord was alleged to have infringed He's So Fine.
Anant RautHOST
And he said, I didn't even realize I was doing it, but I believe the court there found that you can still infringe even if it's subconscious.
