Cue ’80s funk band Collage, who are suing Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson for copyright infringement, claiming the duo’s hit “Uptown Funk” is “virtually indistinguishable” from their own track “Young Girls.”
The band claims that Ronson and Mars’ single “is an obvious, strikingly and/or substantially similar copy” of their own 1983 single. The complaint also notes that Ronson and Mars have talked about how “Uptown Funk” was influenced by early 1980s Minneapolis electro-funk soul music. Collage are seeking damages and profits.
Listen to the two tracks below. Do they have a case?
