[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]We talked about that when the cover was first mentioned. It was originally done by some legendary musician - I can't remember who exactly. Britney covered it and managed to make it sound like trashy pop for slutty teenage girls.[/QUOTE]
read that Iai

[QUOTE=Iai]The only guy quoted in the liners as a songwriter is Max Martin, who's been Britney's producer since she first appeared, so I doubt that. Either that or Max Martin did it originally, in which case, I never knew he had a career in front of the boards too.

[SIZE=1]Yes I have the album[/SIZE]

Anyway, I came in hear to ask - did they cover She is Beautiful by Andrew WK too? My friend just sent me it, I'm just checking it's not a mislabelled mp3.[/QUOTE]
People like Britney Spears and other pop people don't say if it's a cover ... they are soo low...It's all about money and fame. muahaha sry for triple post but i don't know how to put more than one quote in a post :confused: , if some one just tell me how to do it I can edit. yes they covered She is Beautiful

Why do three separate posts? You could have done it all in one.

It's [B]illegal[/B] not to quote the original songwriter. Whether they would have wanted to or not is irrelevant. There's no way they would have got away it if it was a cover.

Anyway, the Andrew WK cover. Anybody know?

I already said in my post above that they covered the andrew wk song. And pop people don't give a f*ck if it's illegal or not.(money and fame). IT IS A COVER. look what shadows fallen said above which I quoted and told you to read.....

Then source it. Tell me who did the original. Don't just throw sh[I]i[/I]t like that around without backing it up.

I must say, you have a pretty twisted definition of the way the law works.

[QUOTE=Iai]Anyway, the Andrew WK cover. Anybody know?[/QUOTE]
Yep, he's right. They covered she is Beautiful on the Trashed Lost & Strngout EP.

^Thanks man.

[QUOTE=dest. Chaos]AGAIN: look what Shadows Fallen said above which I quoted and told you to read...[/QUOTE]
I've read it 5 times. I see no mention of who did it originally, other than a very vague 'some legendary musician'. AGAIN - prove it.

And I told you that bodom covered she is beautiful 1567 times b4 he said it lol.
and I know more examples of pop people using other people's material without quoting the original writer....

[QUOTE=IheartSP]Wow, I just discovered that Oops I Did It Again was a cover of a Louis Armstrong song. I am severely confused because that doesn't seem like something he'd sing, or Britney Spears cover. The lyrics are like gay 21st century pop, why would Louis Armstrong have written them in like the 60s?[/QUOTE]

Alright Iai, this should clear it up. Britney covered Louis Armstrong, and here's a link to back it up.

yeah. we said it was mentioned in this thread b4 so you could have used the search function like I did Search this thread/britney spears cover/scroll down a bit and then you some posts about it.. now for being such a dick agianst me for that you should say sorry...Maybe because it's so old it's not illegal to not quote the original writer...

[QUOTE=dest. Chaos] you could have used the search function like I did Search this thread/britney spears cover/scroll down a bit and then you some posts about it[/QUOTE]
That's exactly what I did. :)

maybe we actually have a brain unlike him....which we use b4 throwing **** at other people. edit: he seems to be very quiet now...

See, that's all you had to do. Thanks.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]That's exactly what I did. :)[/QUOTE]
And it showed up? The mods said the search got corrupted after the database crash.

[QUOTE=dest. Chaos]maybe we actually have a brain unlike him....which we use b4 throwing **** at other people[/QUOTE]
Well, I can see hwew he was coming from. If the song had some other guy listed as the writer, than it would make perfect sense for him to think it was original. Actually, if some other guy was credited with writing it, then it may actually be illegal...so I think we all had our legitimate motives. :)

[QUOTE=Iai]And it showed up? The mods said the search got corrupted after the database crash.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it worked. It was discussed sometime after the crash so I think that may have something to do with it. I had to strip down the search querry for it to work, but it gave me exactly what I was looking for.

Yeah, the explanation that it's too old is pretty much spot on. Especially in the case of an artists with such a huge body of work as Louis Armstrong - the copyrighters probably wouldn't have brothered with the more obscure stuff, leaving in the public domain. That technically makes not listing Armstrong as legal, though immoral.

The fact that somebody quoted it as an 80s original is pretty off - Armstrong had been dead for 9 years by that point. :lol:

[QUOTE=dest. Chaos]edit: he seems to be very quiet now...[/QUOTE]
I was on the phone to my girlfriend, if you must now.

I suppose since the song is so old and Armstrong has been dead for a while, the copyright laws don't restrict against using it. It's still not cool for them to take the credit though.
[QUOTE=Iai]I was on the phone to my girlfriend, if you must now.[/QUOTE]
I wish I had one of those.

I think Copyrights only last like 80 years or something.

.[/QUOTE]
yeah that's true. but that wasn't really the point. the point was that it's a cover. btw the one who said he thought it was some 80's song isn't at all as reliable as the other one (who's at gates of metal where bodom played half an our ago)

[QUOTE=dest. Chaos]it's just very unmusical.....muaha powerchord owns!!! through the whole song ! yes! and only 8th notes in the solo that's fast enough...[/QUOTE]
Not hardly dude, stop stereotyping :-\

To Iai: Yes, they did cover AWK.

[quote=Sliptallica]I think Copyrights only last like 80 years or something.[/quote]
I think it's 100. I know you can't copyright anything from before a certain point, which I *think* is 1900.

Cheers for the help guys.

It's different in different countries. In Sweden I'm pretty sure it's 50 years..

what did I say wrong then? I have barely heard any punk that uses much else else than powerchords....

Eh, you need to listen to more punk. There's so many punk bands that aren't like that.

name some...and NO I really don't need to listen to more punk. the only punk I like is the swedish "ebba grön". they were punk for a couple of years and then they went over more to rock.....then they split up after 5 years and switched one or two members and created "Imperiet" instead. They're great.. (NOT punk)
