This was always such a vexatious crock .. and launched, not when IDAFL was No 1 around the world but 25 years later! Nor is it the only song using the words in its title. As to the "melody", I remember at the time the idiots brought their suit listening to the Sinclair/Molina version on YTube .. not a trace of the "soul" they claimed had been taken, and sounded nothing like Jim's composition .. who btw wrote IDAFL and brought it to Meat FFS.
Just such nonsense that there even WAS a case, that two great artists will have had to pay to defend it. Just hope the "settlement" was for one dollar ..
