Another Coldplay plagiarism scandal

Weird. I knew that Coldplay piece of shit song sounded familiar but I had never heard the song Satriani's accusing them of ripping off. Maybe this is why it did. [?] Even though I know they don't sound completely identical, there's at least some resemblance.

Helpful hint - Skip to a little after 5 minutes so you don't have to actually sit through a whole Cat Stevens song. [:D]

Hopefully our good Yusuf Islam will issue a Fatwah on Coldplay.

I also heard Coldplay are under criminal investigation as reports emerge that their music literally bored someone to death in Northern England last week.

So who is The Artist Formerly Known as Cat Stevens going to sue? Coldplagiary? Or Satch?

Here's one vote for he sues them both.
