LOS ANGELES (AP) - June 5, 2009 Dando sued GM and advertising and licensing firms in federal
court Thursday, claiming the automaker violated his copyright on
The Lemonheads song "It's a Shame About Ray." The complaint
alleges the song was re-recorded and included in a 2008 TV campaign
for Chevrolets and Buicks.
Dando seeks damages and a portion of profits from the campaign.
GM, which sought federal bankruptcy protection this week, and
the licensing firm Asche & Spencer Music, Inc. did not immediately
respond to calls Friday.
The Lemonheads had several hits in the 1990s, including "Into
Your Arms" and a remake of "Mrs. Robinson."
