Stylo vs. Eddy GRANT!?

As a follow up into our recent endeavors of Stylo by Gorillaz, it seems that they're in a bit of legal trouble due to the song. Eddy Grant of "Electric Avenue" fame is claiming that their song sounds a bit to much like his song "Time Warp."

Says Eddy:
"I am outraged that the Gorillaz have infringed the copyright of my song Time Warp, claiming their song Stylo to be an original composition."

Not to mention that both artists are signed to EMI, therefore making the legal troubles only significant to the two bands. Just step in and figureidout, EMI!!!!

What do you guys think? Too Similar?




Sunny's take: I definitely hear the similarities, but I don't think there's a case. Just because the bass beat is focussed on the same note and both have synth parts does not make them the same song. Copywright cases are very hard to win, so Eddy is wasting his time! DONE!
