Hobbs asegura que hay muchas similitudes entre su canci\u00f3n y la que Elton John lanz\u00f3 en 1985. Aunque, en la melod\u00eda del famoso cantante se habla de una guardia militar de Alemania, que vigilaba los l\u00edmites de Alemania Occidental antes de que cayera el mundo de Berl\u00edn y no de una mesera rusa.<\/p>\n

Hobbs cree que el plagio se ocurri\u00f3 porque cuando termin\u00f3 la letra, la mand\u00f3 a varias compa\u00f1\u00edas buscando que la firmaran. En esas empresas incluy\u00f3 a Big Pig, que grababa a Elton John. Aunque nunca recibi\u00f3 respuesta alguna. El demandante no explica la raz\u00f3n por la que esper\u00f3 27 a\u00f1os para entablar la demanda. Elton no ha hecho ning\u00fan comentario al respecto.<\/p>\n

\nElton John stole lyrics to ‘Nikita,’ South African songwriter says<\/p>\n

A South African has claimed in a US federal lawsuit that singer Elton John stole the lyrics of the 1980s hit \u00abNikita.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Guy Hobbs, described in various media reports as a songwriter and award-winning freelance photojournalist, filed the suit in Illinois federal court claiming he wrote a song called \u00abNatasha\u00bb back in 1982 based on his affair with a Russian cruise ship waitress, TMZ reported.<\/p>\n

Three years later, Hobbs said, John and lyricist Bernie Taupin copied \u00bbsubstantial, original portions\u00bb of his song, even though Hobbs had registered his copyright of \u00abNatasha.\u00bb<\/p>\n

John’s song is ostensibly about a German female body guard. According to Britain’s Daily Mail, it reached number three in the UK chart in 1985 and made the top 10 in countries across the globe. According to the suit, Hobbs had sought without success to find a music composer and in 1984 forwarded the lyrics to music publishers, including Big Pig Music. Daniel Voelker, Hobbs’ lawyer, said attempts to reach a settlement went unanswered, so he decided to sue.<\/p>\n

John and Taupin’s representative told the New York Post that the suit was without merit and that John was \u00absurprised and disappointed.\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
