Here’s another one. As far as I know there has been no lawsuit. “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred uses an 18 note phrase (at 1:13 in the video)...

from Jimmy Hendrix’s “Third Stone From The Sun” (at 0:42 in the video)

Less than 5-seconds even...I think the second phrase in that 5-second clip actually has different intervals between the notes, giving it a minor chord sound.
I’m the only one I ever knew who sang this in class. We always over sold the word “gay” with extra emphasis on the word and was never made to stop. I dread to think what would happen to us if we we’re students and did that now.
Looks like a case of “Lawyers at Work”.
LOL! We used to overemphasize ‘gay’ as well.
This was more of a Boy Scout song, as I recall, but we might have sung it in kindergarten as well.
Either way, I def. remember this song, and I always thought that was the riff that Men At Work used in that song.
