Talk:Absolute (production team)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please do not delete the information about "Impossible" of Edyta: "Some critics claimed it was a copy of the song "Love is like Oxygen" by the British rock group Sweet." It is not the official Absolute website, where you put ONLY those facts which you are proud of. Here is the whole Story about "Impossible": http://www.jochenscheytt.de/popsongs/impossible.html (in German).
"Impossible" was obviously plagiarized from "Love is like oxygen"! This case was solved by the lawyers of Andy Scott from CCS Solicitors in 2004. "Impossible" appears in the EMI Music Publishing database as:
IMPOSSIBLE written by PAUL WILSON, TRACY ACKERMAN, ANDY WATKINS, ANDY SCOTT, TREVOR GRIFFIN Link: http://www.emimusicpub.com/worldwide/servlet/lyrics?song_id=2319078
By the way, Geri Halliwell's "Look At Me" was also very heavily influenced by "History Repeating" from Shirley Bassey. Here you can find a very interesting list of plagiarized songs and soundalikes: http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~udgk/plagi.php
