Flaming Lips Settle With Cat Stevens
After being accused of borrowing the melody of Cat Stevens' "Father And Son" for their song "Fight Test, (which Wayne Coyne has admitted during live performances), the Lips have settled with the Cat, according to the Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) website:
It was confirmed today that an agreement has been reached between Sony/ATV Music Publishing (Yusuf Islam) and EMI Music Publishing (Flaming Lips) over the single 'Fight Test' and its close resemblance to the Cat Stevens classic, 'Father and Son'. Royalties from the sale of 'Fight Test' will now be divided between both parties according to the agreed settlement.
