Apparently The Eagles were pretty pissed about this song. Threatened to sue if he played it using their music at concerts, even though Ocean never made any money off it.

Anyway, I like it. The one I found on YouTube doesn't include the extended guitar riff towards the end though.

Coldplay's reaction to this one was the complete opposite. They invited him to tour with them.

I'd be pissed too. Dude takes their song and writes new lyrics and cashes in? Kind of a far cry from the sampling laws.

Edit* just for clarity - I hate the Eagles but still the principle remains the same, create your own intellectual property or pay for the right to borrow/use someone else's otherwise you're just a thief, regardless of how talented you may be in your own right.

Well yeah, their displeasure was valid. I wouldn't say he "cashed in" much though, his version of the song was released for free.

He's "cashing in" in less tangible ways perhaps but you can't argue that he's not profiting from the works of others. For the record I have no issue with this kind of "mash up" (or whatever it's called) art-form but ya gotta pay for the stuff you use otherwise it's theft plain and simple.

On principle, I don't disagree.

Hahahahahaha! I saw a funny thing today where a guy said, "I left 3 notes around for my girlfriend today. They said "Will", "you", and "me". That'll keep her busy looking while I watch sports." And to stay on topic, Flux Pavilion - Haunt You

Have you ever seen this clip of him doing it on the old 80s "Night Moves" show with David Sanborn (and his incredible 80s hair!)

So epic.

I'm listening to the best new album I've heard for a while. CHVRCHES -- The Bones Of What You Believe .

Different set of 80s influences! :-)
