But his attempt to cover tracks by Marr has not been well received - the rocker has refused his request, according to The Sun. A source tells the publication, "(Hill's) already on his third choice of album title and now Johnny's had a sense of humour bypass." http://uk.news.yahoo.com/1/20101005/ten-marr-blocks...ers-c60bd6d.html what do you think ?

I hadn't realised you could stop someone from recording your songs anyway? Doubt Sid Vicious had permission for "My Way"....

As you say it's whoever owns the publishing rights who grants permission for use of a particular recording. No-one has ever granted permission to sample Beatles songs but Beastie Boys' "Paul's Boutique" samples several. Top album that.

Yeah the Dust Brothers produced that one and made it very sample-heavy as it wasn't til the next album that the group were confident enough to play most of the music "properly". The Chemical Brothers were originally known as The Dust Brothers but had to change their name to avoid confusion with the "Paul's Boutique" producers.

(De La Soul's debut and the KLF album had caused headaches!) The fact that the Beatles samples are still on Paul's Boutique may have had something to do with the Beasties signing Sean Lennon to their label? Back to Harry Hill .. Morrissey's reaction to Harry Hill's impersonation of him on Ross a few years back was pretty priceless. Don't think he was very impressed.
