Thanks for another fun post Sonny! I love how you elucidate all these facts about these songs, interesting tidbits I was previously unaware of. I don't think the flute solo resembles Kookaburra in the slightest. Whoever adjudicated that case must have been a jerk. Also, I do not condone plagiarism of course, but if there is a tiny riff in a song that slightly resembles another song, but every other component of the song is musically unique, it seems inordinately punitive to litigate that. Thanks for another interesting deep dive! xx
Thanks so much, Nadine! And sorry for the late reply! Life got real and I had to unplug. ANYWAY, I couldn’t agree with you more. I don’t think it resembles Kookabura either. The whole thing feels (and reeks) like a cash grab. Thanks again for taking the time to read and for leaving such a thoughtful comment. It’s very much appreciated!

A timeless classic song. Never gets old.
Totally agree. I listened to the song for the first time in decades and was amazed by how great it still sounded.
To be honest, I listen to it every weekend ☝️
Fascinating details! Thanks!
Thank YOU, Dan!
I didn’t know the lawsuit part of this. Thanks.
My pleasure, Daniel!
