Comment:

Agnetha FSltskog (of ABBA fame) recieved a cassette with the song "The Heat is On". Believing it was a demo, it was copied in detail. But it was no demo. It had been released as a single with Noosha Fox four years earlier.

The Harry Chapin-original "Six String Orchestra" was recorded i Sweden, in Swedish, by Brasse BrSnnstr÷m in 1978. Brasse, and his collaborator Magnus HSrenstam, claimed that they only were "inspired" by Chapin's original. The only difference between the versions was the name of Eric Clapton being changed to the name of a swedish guitarist (Janne Schaffer). The Coasters' ditty "Girls Girls Girls" was actually the basis to the script of the Elvis-movie of the same name. (No wonder most of the Elvis-movies were rotten).
