David Bowie 'borrowed' beatles line/melody

Listening to The Yellow Submarine album, I was surprised to
hear, during the song, It's All Too Much, penned by G.
Harrison, "with your long blonde hair and your eyes of
blue", which of course, are also used in Bowie's song,
Sorrow. Also, the Harrison song had the same melody, so
evidently Bowie took it and used it for his song!

Fascination Factor of 7.7

Well, stone me, after that, I now find out that
Sorrow was a cover version anyway, of The Merseys
from 1966.

How strange. I like it though.

Ouch, you just owned yourself and George Harrison at the
same time. Of course, George is well known for
subconsciously plagarizing. Those Beatles would have
amounted to nothing if they didn't have all those Merseybeat
groups to steal ideas from.
