7 Songs About Plagiarism

4. The Courteeners - Acrylic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJFUWapnr3s For a band immediately slapped with accusations of copying, it must have taken a ballsy attitude for The Courteeners to write their own anti-plagiarism single. One of the earliest tracks in their discography, Acrylic blasts an unnamed enemy for having no true opinions or ability of their own ("You've got an okay jacket but you've got no spine"). However, frontman Liam Fray must surely have had criticisms aimed at his own group in mind, especially when writing lyrics referring to "libertine dreamers" - The Libertines being one of the most renowned bands The Courteeners were accused of aping. Key Lyrics: "You're just like plasticine being moulded into a libertine dreamer"
