And if you were expecting "Turtles in a half-shell. Turtle power!", I
will not even dignify that with a response. :-)
Imagine Me and You, I'll Sue
Posted May 13th 2008 8:12PM by TMZ Staff, NTVLand
Two members of the 60's group, The Turtles (you know, "Happy
Together'), have sued Capitol Records over an Ice Cube song --
*****es!
According to the suit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Flo
& Eddie recorded a song in 1972 for The Turtles called "Buzzsaw." The
suit claims the song was sampled in a rap song by Ice Cube called
"Jackin' for Beats." Flo & Eddie allege Capital signed a deal for the
derivative song but went beyond the agreement to make even more money.
Flo & Eddie want minimum $25,000 but not more than $70,000. We know,
it's weird to set a limit when you sue.
Capital, Eddie & Flo -- not happy together.
