I just heard the DJ on KROQ talking about the Verve's song "Bitter Sweet Symphony." I didn't know this, but apparently they sampled a Rolling Stones song for this track, which led to a long court battle with the Stones—one which the Verve eventually lost.
So every time that song plays, it's the Rolling Stones that get the royalty check, and not the Verve.
I'm pretty sure this was their only really BIG hit, so could truer words have ever been applied to a song title?
