"What was really lame about that lawsuit was that it was Harrison's former
manager that sued him. Harrison supposedly commented how similar the songs
were once, and admitted to his manager that he might have subconsciously
stolen the melody. When they parted ways some years later, the manager went
and bought the rights to the Chiffons song and sued Harrison for copyright
infringement. Melody is 50% of a copyright, so that was enough.
