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.

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...

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 pimp
Pop, pop it for me
Turn around and drop it for a pimp
Drop, drop it for me
I'll rent a beach house in Miami
Wake up with no jammies
Lobster tail for dinner
Julio serve that scampi
You got it if you want it
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
You deserve it baby, you deserve it all
And I'm gonna give it to you
Gold jewelry shining so bright
Strawberry champagne on ice
Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like
Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like
Sex by the fire at night
Silk sheets and diamonds all white
Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like

Say the word and we go
You can be my freaka
Girl, I'll be on fleek, ah, mamacita
I will never make a promise that I can't keep
I promise that you'll smile and gon' never leave
Shopping sprees in Paris
Everything 24 carats
Take a look in that mirror
Now tell me who's the fairest
Is it you? (is it you?) Is it me? (is it me?)
Say it's us (say it's us) and I'll agree, baby
Jump in the Cadillac
