Nailhead, meet hammer, I think you'll get along fine.Queen Michael said:
That's exactly it, granted Glee have done a lot of catchy reworkings of classic songs, sometimes to their benefit (usually interesting mashups, a concept they certainly didn't create) and sometimes to their detriment (many o' these).
But they at least had the fact that they'd created said remix, whereas this is a straight up cover of someone else's work without their permission. I don't know the full legalities of it, and if they had a deal with Sir Mentadent and that overrides JC's rights to refusal then fair enough - but I imagine he'd be aware of that, and his continued chagrin suggests that's not the case.
If I've heard correctly, Glee don't approach many people whose songs they use, and after the event, most people don't care because it boosts their sales. However, on general principle, I'd be pissed if my work boosted their sales if I didn't approve of their format or product, even if it gave me a little gold to boot.
That Johnny C bit? Christ Glee, at least try and hide it a BIT.
