The Flaming Lips vs. Cat Stevens

Cat Stevens – “Father & Son” (1970)
Flaming Lips – “Fight Test” (2003)
The Flaming Lips will split royalties for the song “Fight Test” with Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) according to the terms of an agreement between the two artists’ publishing companies. The settlement stems from the similarity between the Lips’ new single and Stevens’ 1970 song “Father and Son.”

    Look up “Wait Until I Get My Hands On You” by the Paper Chase. It’s also similar.
