Why all the hate? this is her property. It’s illegal to use it. For some artists, one hit wonders, this is very important income. I’m with her.
Neither have these guys.
Not necessarily, the publishing company owns the song.
Lucky for them.
I agree.
Taylor Swift at least had the common decency to let Right Said Fred have partial songwriting credits for her latest hit.
"Micky" was Toni Basil's song. She deserves to get paid when it is used.
LOL or “Wake me up before you go go” which is so utterly gay it made Richard Simmons come across as Chuck Norris by comparison, or Tainted love which to me sounded like someone getting hit on the head with an anvil, and it felt like it too, EVERY time I hear that song I get a headache..”Soooometiiiimes I feeeeeel I have to *BONK* *BONK* run awaaay” Ugh, kill me now please.
Terribly annoying song it was.
Yep, 80s music was full of faggotry.
>>Since finding that her song was misused, Basil has become “withdrawn, despondent, and physically ill,” the suit alleges, and has experienced “sleep deprivation, nightmares, and anxiety.”

These symptoms often occur simultaneously along with the scent of possible free lawsuit $. Amazingly, these symptoms will disappear with Dollar Compensation Therapy.
She authorized the use of her song by allowing it in the public play lists.
Same thing with the Rolling Stones and all of those singers who were mad at Trump.
If they don’t want them used, they need to block their use:
She should hand over all the royalties from those years, if she wants a chance to win, now.
Why all the public drama? This is what lawyers are for.
What, she just now, after all these decades, found out about the use of her song? And just after Hellary lost. The horrors!
My hatred isn't connected to her claim for compensation under contract law/copyright law...it's entirely connected to her claims of nightmares and anxiety.
That's straight out of an ambulance chasing lawyer's playbook.
It was one of the first music videos on MTV.
Rap is someone who yells gibberish over other peoples records then boasts about it. I use to do that too...when I was 5.
Sure, you must have. Back in the 80’s.
“Oh Mickey, you’re so fine
You’re so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey,
Hey Mickey”
Rinse and repeat a dozen more times.
This is not so fine. Not so fine.
This really does not blow my mind.
Oh Mickey!
The people in show business are all communists. They’re not supposed to believe in profit.
“Basil has become “withdrawn, despondent, and physically ill,”
She’s a little old to be a Snowflake.

Yeah, but that’s what the lawyers tell them to say. It brings in more do-re-mi.
