According to Wikipedia "Maybelline" was lifted from the Bob Wills' hit "Ida Red likes to Boogie" which in turn plagiarised words from another song. Wynonie Harris's "Around the Clock parts 1 and 2" is on Youtube if you want to compare it with "Reelin and rockin".DBC Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891849727783879145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-59323276020653580462013-11-21T17:13:16.870+00:002013-11-21T17:13:16.870+00:00DBC, yes but Surfin USA/Sweet Little Sixteen is a ...DBC, yes but Surfin USA/Sweet Little Sixteen is a famous example that everybody knows about, with court case and everything (I don't know why the Beach Boys even bothered defending themselves).Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-8692698080264245112013-11-21T15:36:12.833+00:002013-11-21T15:36:12.833+00:00You young fellows are making a fuss about nothing...You young fellows are making a fuss about nothing."Surfin USA" (Beach Boys) is such a rip off of "Sweet little Sixteen" that they ended up paying Chuck Berry royalties. But Berry's B-side "Reeling and Rockin" is a lift from Wynonie Harris whose big hit "Bloodshot Eyes" is a cover version of C&W singer Hank Penny's original. Chuck Berry's "Maybelline" is a revamp of a traditional old time fiddle tune "Ida Red".<br />BTW land taxers are supposed to deplore copyright restrictions as a type of rent taking . I don't. Chuck Berry made a lot of less talented bozos rich.
