    What song got John Lennon sued for plagiarism because the first 2 lines were the same as Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me"?

    		The song "Come Together".

    The lines weren't exactly the same. John Lennon sang "Here come ol' flattop, he come groovin' up slowly", and Chuck Berry sing "Here come a flattop, he was movin' up with me".
