Lady Gaga sued over Judas plagiarism claims

Lady Gaga sued over Judas plagiarism claims. Lady Gaga is being sued for plagiarizing recent single "Judas" from a song called "Juda" by Rebecca Francescatti, who cites some tangential connection between a guy who re-recorded and remixed her song and another guy who ended up producing several tracks on Gaga's latest album, "Born This Way," but not the song in question.

The bigger problem Francescatti, an unknown singer-songwriter based in Chicago, is sure to face in court is that her song sounds nothing like the Gaga hit - unless you count the fact that it repeats the title.

And if that's your basis for a plagiarism lawsuit, Francescatti's owes the Beatles money.

I refer you to "Hey Jude," where Paul McCartney clearly states, "Jude, Jude-a, Jude-a, Jude-a, Jude-y, Jude-a," punctuating his remarks with "Ow-ooh-wow!"
