Previously, Beach Boy Brian Wilson praised Katy Perry’s Beach Boys homage “California Gurls,†saying, “I love her vocal. … She sounds very clear and energetic. The melody is infectious, and I’m flattered that Snoop Dogg used our lyric on the tag. I wish them well with this cut.†Now Rondor Music has sent a letter to Katy Perry’s label, Capitol Records, on behalf of Wilson and Mike Love — the co-writers of the Boys’ “California Girls†— asking for writing credit and royalties on the Perry track. After all, infectious melodies cannot be cashed at the bank. [NYP via Daily Intel]
