Carly Rae Jepsen and Owl City have been named in a lawsuit over 'Good Time'

  • October 31, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Musical risk-takers Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen have been named in a copyright infringe­ment lawsuit over their duet, 'Good Time'.

According to Ace Showbiz, singer All Burnett is claiming the song rips off her own ditty, 'Ah, It's A Love Song', spe­cific­ally the "unique vocal motif" that repeats in the chorus of both songs and "has a catchy pop vibe that both draws people in and sticks in people's heads."

Burnett has also stated that she's bringing the lawsuit as she's "suffered emotional and psy­cho­lo­gical damage" over people claiming she in fact copied Jeppo and Owl.

You can have a listen to the songs below.
