Did Billie Eilish Rip Off The Doors?

Did Billie Eilish Rip Off The Doors: It’s nothing new for songs to crossover into each other in the music industry. However, this only sometimes indicates the intentional copying of musical elements. One of Billie Eilish’s most famous songs, “Bury A Friend,” sounds like “People Are Strange,” a classic from the ’60s by the rock band The Doors.

Did Billie Eilish Rip Off The Doors?

When it comes to music, determining whether or not something sounds similar because of creative borrowing or was just a coincidence is a complicated matter. Interestingly, it makes no difference if the artist intentionally copied the other work or if the plagiarism occurred accidentally.

After being accused of ripping off The Rags’, “He’s So Fine” for his song “My Sweet Lord,” George Harrison got a taste of the music industry’s seedier side. Harrison was found guilty of “unwitting plagiarism” and fined almost $1.6 million in 1976 after the case dragged on for years. Because of the trial’s difficulty, the Beatles reevaluated the music business, and the verdict had a chilling impact on Harrison, who had previously fallen in love with it.

The tune of “Bury A Friend” by Eilish is almost identical to that of “People Are Strange.” This is the most streamed song by The Doors on Spotify; therefore, it’s unlikely that either Eilish or his co-producer Finneas have heard it.

Eilish and Finneas might claim they have never heard “People Are Strange” if a lesser-known group recorded it from the 1960s rather than The Doors. They are true artists at heart, so they wouldn’t blatantly steal The Doors’ melody and rework it as their own.

Eilish revealed that “Bury A Friend” is “literally from the point of view of the monster under my bed. If you put yourself in this state of mind, what does this creature do or feel?

It’s quite unlikely that Eilish and Finneas deliberately selected pieces of “People Are Strange,” despite the fact that the melodies and topics of the two songs are practically identical. But if the remaining Doors members chose to bring a plagiarism complaint, they probably would get a substantial settlement.
