Swirsky and Campbell filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court For Central California on September 15, 2000. U.S. District Judge Christina Snyder ruled Tuesday that there was a lack of melodic similarity between the two songs, according to AP. In addition, Snyder found no similarities in key, tempo, or harmonic structure.  

The judge did not find any “similarity in key, harmonic                          structure, tempo or genre” between the songs, the ruling                          stated.
