"Dani California" sounds almost identical to Tom Petty´s "Mary Jane´s Last Dance"

Probably this was already posted...


Last week, radio presenter Dan Gaffney of Delaware-based WGMD accused the band (Red Hot Chili Peppers) of ripping off Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. He claims that the leading single from the new album, "Dani California," sounds almost identical to Petty's "Mary Jane's Last Dance".

Gaffney's show producer has this this mp3 at his blog in which he compares the intro and first verse of each, one after the other, then together. It's a pretty powerful piece of "evidence".

I'm not one to trash their new stuff, but Track 1 Disc 2 is a rip off of "Dosed" from By The Way

Chords are similar, but not identical. Chorus and melody are different.
