Music Trivia -> Song Lawsuits -> M

Songs that have resulted in lawsuits, either for lyrics or for borrowing too much of the music.

"My Name Is," Eminem
Eminem's own mother filed a lawsuit against her son over the lyric "99% of my life I was lied to I found out my mom does more dope than I do." In her lawsuit Mrs Mathers claims that she never did do drugs of anykind around her son. But soon she repeatedly dropped and reinstated the lawsuit.

"My Sweet Lord," George Harrison
In 1970, when George Harrison released "My Sweet Lord", the Chiffon's realized that the song nearly plagiarized "He's so Fine". This was settled in 1976 when the Chiffon's won the case. Ironically, Phil Spector produced songs by the Chiffons but he didn't produce "He's so Fine".
