John Fogerty, a band member of Creedence Clearwater Revival, had signed himself out of the band and all the royalties of the stable of songs by CCR. John wrote and sung his song “Zanz can’t dance” well, Saul Zaentz, his old partner claims that song is a replica of the CCR’s song “run through the jungle”. John was being accused of plagiarizing himself. To solve this case, john played both songs in court to the judge and the jury. The case was dismissed and john ended up suing the record company for court cost. He ended up changing the song title to “Zanz to Vanz”
