Isn't it copyright violation to include the lyrics like that? Also, this article doesn't cite any sources. Frederik Holden 07:03, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Not if the band hasnt said it doesnt want its lyrics to be shown without permission, i think

The included lyrics are from a live version, as heard on Made In Japan, and not precisely same as the original lyrics. Whether that's an excuse, I'm not an expert to say. /Renne 15:12, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plagerism?

I fail to see how lifting a simple riff from another song can be classed here as plagerism; the lyrics , and solos etc are all Purple's work. If this assumption is extended to rock music in general then most bands are guilty!! Harryurz 21:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Please take that Anu Malik trivia out, I'm from India and I know he can't inspire, he completely steals them, he has even stolen "Godfather" theme, and even titatic theme recently, I think that that should be enough, although there is more.

[edit] Dubious

I think 'stole' is a little excessive. It's obvious that Deep Purple's "Hush" stole its melody from The Beatles' "A Day in the Life" (granted it was written by somebody else), but nobody is complaining. In the music and film industry, 'jacking' other peoples' riffs and melodies is just what happens. I mean at this point, we're running out of 100% unique combinations of notes in a two-measure time frame =). iNaNimAtE 21:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, i happen to be an Indian and I have heard the version by Anu Malik in question and I can confidently state that it is a note-for-note copy of the song without any variation whatsoever so while 'stolen' may be too strong, 'copied' would be better for an encyclopedia but there is no doubt that he copied it. Nothing is altered, not the tempo or anything. The only change is that the organ bit in the middle is played on a flute. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 125.16.221.133 (talk)

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=P2bhDV8ZIpI - It's what the Wikipedia article says, only the words are changed. "Plagarised" might be a better word for it, but "stolen" is not too far off. --58.108.254.116 (talk) 09:43, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
