    Lana Del Rey seems like one of those musicians that people love to hate, and for many here’s another reason to do just that.

    The American singer / songwriter is now being sued by Radiohead, with the latter rather miffed about Lana’s ‘Get Free’.

    Turns out that song bears a rather uncanny resemblance to ‘Creep’, one of Radiohead’s calling cards, and they’re now asking for 100% of the publishing royalties to her track.

    Over to the Guardian:

    Del Rey tweeted: “It’s true about the lawsuit. Although I know my song wasn’t inspired by Creep, Radiohead feel it was and want 100% of the publishing – I offered up to 40 over the last few months but they will only accept 100. Their lawyers have been relentless, so we will deal with it in court.”

    As it stands only Del Rey, along with co-writers Kieron Menzies and Rick Nowels, are credited on the track, taken from her album Lust for Life which topped the charts in the US and UK on its release in July 2017.

    First up let’s take a listen to Lana’s effort:

    In case you want a little side by side action, here’s a comparison of the two:

    Parts of those songs are pretty darn similar, don’t you think?

    Of course she’s not the only high-profile musician to be hit with a lawsuit in the past few years. Any of these ring a bell?

    Ed Sheeran settled out of court with a pair of songwriters after similarities were found between his song Photograph and the Matt Cardle song Amazing, and also retrospectively added the writers of TLC’s No Scrubs to the credits of his enormous hit Shape of You. Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne were added to the credits for Sam Smith’s Stay With Me in 2014, while in 2015 Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams were successfully sued by Marvin Gaye’s estate for $7.4m, after it was found that their Blurred Lines plagiarised Gaye’s track Got to Give It Up.

    Let’s end with the song that launched Del Rey’s career and be on our way:
