Fantasy, Inc, who was the
recording label for Creedence Clearwater Revival sued John Fogerty, the former
lead singer. They sued him for stealing a song that he wrote but the record
company now had rights to (after he left the band was forced to give up his
right to the music). Fogerty wrote "Run through the jungle" while he
was with CCR and then after going solo released the song "The old man down
the road". Fantasy Inc. thought that "The old man down the road"
was the same song as "Run through the jungle" but with different
lyrics. Fantasy Inc. sued Fogerty and the court sided with Fogerty saying that
the songs were not the same.
