More about: Panic At The Disco

Panic! at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie has admitted that the band were declined the publishing rights to sample Fiona Apple in their single 'Miss Jackson'. 

'Miss Jackson' was the first single to be released from the bands new album Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die and it turns out the original recording featured Fiona Apple's vocals and sampled one of her melodies. The track, which was intended to be named 'Bad Apple' was denied the rights to use Fiona's material, which Urie claims really pissed him off. 

"We tried to get the publishing cleared and she was so bummed on us man, she was like "no I'm not letting that band sell my stuff" and I was kinda hurt, I was like 'Really? I love, love your stuff, like I love you Fiona' but then afterwards I was like, 'You bitch!' like that sucks, I was so mad!"

Urie claims that the whole idea for the single revolved around Fiona Apple's sample and after she denied them the rights to use it, they had to change the lyrics, hooks and come up with a new track title to eventually end with 'Miss Jackson'.
