This day in music history.

October 24, 1988, John Fogerty becomes the first musician ever sued for sounding like himself. The law suit is brought by Johns old label, Fantasy Records. The suit claimed that John plagarized his own song, "Run Through The Jungle" when writing "The Old Man Down The Road." Fogerty won his case when he proved that the two songs were "wholly separate and distinct compositions." He actually brought his guitar to the witness stand and played both songs. Fogerty later sued them for bringing a frivolous lawsuit, he won.
Old Man Down The Road by John Fogerty
He take the thunder from the mountain,
he take the lightning from the sky,
He bring the strong man to his begging knee,
he make the young girls mama cry.
You got to hidey-hide,
you got to jump and run;
You got to hidey-hidey-hide,
the old man is down the road.
He got the voices speak in riddles,
he got the eye as black as coal,
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide,
and he stands right in the road.
You got to hidey-hide,
you got to jump up run away;
You got to hidey-hidey-hide,
the old man is down the road.
Aaah!
He make the river call your lover,
he make the barking of the hound,
Put a shadow cross the window,
when the old man comes around.
You got to hidey-hide,
you got to jump and run again;
You got to hidey-hidey-hide,
the old man is down the road.
The old man is down the road.
Aaah!
You got ta, you got ta, you got ta,
hidey-hidey-hide!
