Holy cow, I've been on this list a long time. I did a little archive
searching to find out, 'cos I knew we'd talked about it way back in the day.
I just didn't think it was THAT long ago. To me, the OtR song sounds like
a direct ripoff musically of CCR's version of the Screamin' Jay Hawkins "I
Put a Spell on You", yeah. Weird that they could get away with that.
Jeff/Toast had responded to Correa7 at aol_com in December of 96 about that
question:
