I wrote a song once, played it for someone, only to have them tell me that the main riff was a straight rip from Tracy Chapman's chord riff from "Fast Car" - as soon as they said it, I heard it. But I had *no* idea when I wrote it... thought I'd hit on something cool and catchy (not that it's an especially innovative riff to begin with).

Still, when you have a major label artist recording w/so many people around him, you'd think *someone* would have said: "Uh...."
