Gotta love YouTube, I was noodling around the other day and reading about Patrick Alley the guy who sued Mick for copying "Just another Night...well guess what it's available on YouTube -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-bavvXleZ8 !

Not a bad song, but other that the title there is zilch sounding like Mick's song. Shame on that guy.

What's still missing are the demos that Mick apparently played to the judge to show him how the song evolved...wonder if we'll get access to that type of gem one day...

I remember listening to this a long time ago. Although I doubt it's a copy, I can see where he may have got the lyrical hook from it. Listen from about 1:02 until about 1:20. It's not beyond the realm of possibility.

Thanks for pointing that section out, yes, I can see why he had some doubts, but he should have know better than to waste everyone's time.

It seems Mick gets "inspired" by titles and then reworks them completely, like he did for Dave Stewart's "Oh no not you again", he probably heard while he was working with him on Alfie.

Rose Tattoo´s Rock N´Roll is King "inspired" Mick to do Sad Sad Sad :aimama

Had never heard that song, thanks to YouTube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekVBeexIPxM

The chorus is certainly pretty similar, wonder why they didn't sue...maybe because the opening riff sounds a lot like Keith ? ;-)
