When's the first one of the (IMV wild and terrible) successful plagiarism cases in pop music?

I mean, the tune is (I gather) original to the drinking song “To Anacreon in Heaven”

The book I'm working on open with a passage from a work that exists in exactly two copies. It describes a local schoolteacher in early 1800s Ayrshire singing an ode of Anacreon at a ceilidh in response to a demand for a performance by upper class gatecrashers. They hated it as they wanted Burns.

Sapphic Silk

Two Sappho poems were tacked on at the end of this special 1754 Scottish edition of Anacreon printed on golden silk with paper interleaving.

In fairness, the tune to the Star-Spangled Banner is from “To Anacreon in Heaven,” an 18th century British drinking song.

Incredible nerd moment: the tune for Anacreon in Heaven is easier than the Star Spangled Banner because we kept adding frills to the anthem.

It also has a lot more sex jokes.

I'm not sure why I'm finding the pinking sheared edges on the copy on the right so funny, but... ✂️

It's fine; the tune to our national anthem was from an English drinking song

Jan. 15, 1776: George Bellas, the president of London’s Anacreontic Society of gentleman musicians, dies. It was during his tenure that the drinking song “To Anacreon in Heaven” was written by a club member; Francis Scott Key used its harmony when he wrote “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Hey, no slagging off "Anacreon in Heaven." It's a perfectly good eighteenth century pub song. It's not the tune's fault that it's constantly massacred by country singers at ballparks.
