1137.2Screaming Tom WaitesESSB2::EBAGGOTTMon Apr 05 1993 09:518
    the  song is heart attack and Vine.  this is a Tom Waites song  ( 
    title track on Heart attack and vine album!) but this version is by
    Screaming Jay Hawkings.
    
    As with the recent Rod Stweart versions,  it will probally be a hit but
    Tom's versions remain infinatly better.

    isn't tom suing someone because they didn't ask him if they could
    use the song for the ad...or is it something else he's suing about?
    
    giles.

    Yep - thats the one.  They got the rights to the song, but toms
    throwing a grumpy on artistic grounds.  
    
    Why isn't the Heart Attack and Vine album availble on CD in this
    country?  Mutter mutter...

1137.6Frito-LayESSB2::EBAGGOTTMon Apr 05 1993 18:2110
    Are you sure?   Tom sued  Frito-Lay for $2.5 million a while back.  I
    doubt someone would make that mistake again.  If he gave permission to 
    Screaming Jay to record the song and whoever owns the publishing rights
    gave Levies permission then he hasn't a leg to stand on.
    
    Of course he could be sueing them over the video as it is a blatent rip
    off of the In the Neighbourhood  video.
    
    
    Eddie.

    What I read in the paper was that he was upset at them using the record
    in an advert because, and I quote, 'I don't write jingles!'.

    And what about Bryan Ferry's flaccid "I put a spell on you"...
1137.9WOTVAX::GLYNNPMon Apr 19 1993 17:074
    
    Apparently, somebody acting on behalf of Levi's are putting out an
    album which features all the choons they've used over the years,
    including the current one.
