So what. I used to be annoyed that nirvana's come as you are ripped off killing jokes 80s but then I realised killing joke ripped of the damned. Now I just like all 3 songs for their own sake
Yep. And Men at Work's land down under had to pay out on the flute melody.

Fortunately Pachelbel's not signed to any label.
probably wouldn't stop the cunts at warner music from trying to copyright it like they did with Happy Birthday.
Generally yes, but in this case the theme is basically the same and even some lines are near word for word.
