Buckingham borrows
Blue Light, on the self-titled album, has a chorus lifted from the 19th century piano piece Chopsticks.
Not the first time Lindsey's lifted heavily from a (usually) non-copyrighted source - others include: Eyes of the World (Pachelbel's Canon) Murrow Turning Over In His Grave (Black Betty by Leadbelly) When She Comes Down (Wild Mountain Thyme aka Go Lassie Go) One Take (One Toke Over the Line by Brewer & Shipley) Anyone know of anymore? |
On Tango, “You and I Part II” quotes from March of the Wooden Soldiers, Tchaikovsky’s Nutctacker.
Christine gets in the game, too: the coda of “Everywhere” quotes the melody from Rhapsody on a Theme from Paginini”—Rachmaninoff. |
How about the Instrumental Intro to Don't Look Down?
Is that borrowing? |

Sorry - I didn't dig it even when I bought Tango when it was new (my introduction to Mac when I was 13). Again a much more subtle similarity, having just given it a play on YouTube but maybe I just need to listen harder. Actually the shimmery introduction is kind of cool too. |

Murrow—your like or dislike of those songs is immaterial to me. I was just answering your question about borrowing. Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov are fun sources to pluck from.

In an interview promoting his Solo Anthology, Linmdsey mentioned that it was adapted from a piece by Christoph Willibald Gluck (German composer). I have searched long and hard but I have not yet managed to identify the piece - the search continues! |

Of course, there is the whole track to the “Illume” song. Oy, that.

Also little known is that Holiday Road was originally a Hungarian traditional folk song and that the lyrics to Go Your Own Way were lifted word for word from a 1976 Japanese car commercial. |
