LTP: Where have I heard that before.....

[meh*]

Is he John Fogerty?

[Icarus]

I was seriously just about to say that but after going back and reading some of the answers to some of the questions, I'm not 100% this fits.

Is he John Fogerty? Yes

If you know the anwser, but think I've anwsered incorrectly at some point, let me know by PM

Or you can just spoil now if you like.

Not knowing much of anything about John Fogerty, I will press on:

Do the lyrics of the song (that they were mad at) make a claim? Did they claim greatness (e.g. We are the winners of Eurovision. Or Nobody rocks like we do)? Originality (e.g. Since we first showed up with our pirate hats on)? Do they reference another previous work by the Band (e.g. Some people call me the Space Cowboy)?

Do they reference another previous work by the Band (e.g. Some people call me the Space Cowboy)? Yesish

Seems to have stalled, so a recap and a hint.

John Fogerty was frontman and writer for CCR. After the band disolved, he continued his career going solo with a new label. His old producers are now mad about a particular new song. All that remains to be solved is to determine why exactly they are mad about the new song.

Hint: The record company did NOT win the ensuing law suit against Fogerty.

[Suspence]

A lawsuit claimed that "The Old Man Down The Road" shared the same chorus as "Run Through The Jungle" (a CCR song to which Fantasy Records owned the publishing rights). Fogerty ultimately won his case when he proved that the two songs were wholly distinct compositions.

Yep, that's it. They claimed they were the same song with different music.
