Mark Ronson Is Being Sued For 'Uptown Funk' Again
It's the fourth time the hit has been accused of copyright...
Thursday, September 14, 2017 - 17:47
We're starting to wonder if Mark Ronson regrets releasing 'Uptown Funk'.
It might be an absolute banger and is one of the most successful songs of the decade but the producer is now being sued for the second time over copyright infringement, this time by Lastrada Entertainment.
The company own the rights to Roger and Zapp's 1980 song 'More Bounce To The Ounce', which they claim Ronson and singer Bruno Mars copied. Uh oh.
This hit, that ice cold
Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold
This one for them hood girls

The lawsuit argues that Mars' vocals copy a whole 48 seconds of 'More Bounce' and claims that Ronson has even named Roger and Zapp as musical influences in the past, NME reports.
Lastrada Entertainment aren't just suing Mark Ronson, though! They're also going after Sony, Spotify, Apple and several producers.
Ronson has previously credited members of The Gap Band as songwriters after comparisons were made to their song 'Oops! Upside Your Head', while the group Collage sued both the producer and Bruno last year.
A Serbian singer named Viktorija has also claimed the song copied her music, although she didn't go as far to sue over it.
I mean, will this ever end? I feel stressed just thinking about it...

Hey, hey, hey
I got a condo in Manhattan
Baby girl, what's hatnin'?
You and your ass invited
So gon' and get to clappin'
So pop it for a player
Pop, pop it for me
Turn around and drop it for a player
Drop, drop it for me

Wake up with no jammies (Nope)
Lobster tail for dinner

Got, got it if you want it
Said you got it if you want it
Take my wallet if you want it now
Jump in the Cadillac, girl, let's put some miles on it
Anything you want, just to put a smile on it

I promise that your smile ain't gon' never leave
Shopping sprees in Paris
