Harriet Potterski?

there's a book called Barry Trotter that takes the piss out of the 1st harry potter book and I dunno how or if they got away with it but as I said, if someone's put a substantial amount of thought or effort into a lyric then someone else can't copy it, just being similar doesn't count.

If I have a song with the line, Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away, I'd get my balls ripped off courtesy of Mr McCartney

But if I wrote all my troubles seemed miles away yesterday there's not much he could do.

Close, she's called Tanya Grotter. Tanya Grotter and her Magic Double Bass.

Here's an article on that and global copyrights in general:

And more on Tanya vs. Harry:

Yep, and parody is a totally different thing.

Good point mate I never thought about the fact it was a parody.

I dunno what the deal is with parodie's, my bro will bprobably be clued up cause he knows more music law than myself but IMO you're still using someone elses work to parody it y know.
