They’re coming out of the woodworks. For the second time, Coldplay is being accused of ripping off another song with their latest single “Viva La Vida”
This time, it’s folk great Cat Stevens who wants credit for inspiring the song with his own 1973 song, “Foreigner Suite.” Stevens isn’t asking for any monetary compensation--he just wants credit.
What do you think? Rip-off or not?

Ehhh I think it's a stretch. How odd though, that we don't hear much about Cat Stevens (or Yusef Islam, whatever) and this story comes out the same day his new record is released...hmm
