1976 George Harrison – This Song (US:#25)
“This Song” is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his 1976 album Thirty Three & 1/3. It was released as the first single from the album and reached number 25 on the American pop charts but failed to chart in the UK. Harrison wrote the song as a response to the copyright infringement suit launched against him over his early 1970s hit “My Sweet Lord”. The lyrics use terminology associated with the court case and mention other song titles as a satirical comment on the notion of plagiarism in popular music.
