Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars now have a lawsuit on their hands saying their tune Uptown Funk sounds extremely similar to funk group Collage's 1983 single Young Girls.

According to Pitchfork, the band Collage claims "many of the main instrumental attributes and themes of Uptown Funk are deliberately and clearly copied from Young Girls."

"The distinct funky specifically noted and timed consistent guitar riffs present throughout the compositions, virtually if not identical bass notes and sequence, rhythm, structure, crescendo of horns and synthesizers rendering the compositions almost indistinguishable if played over each other and strikingly similar if played in consecutively," the lawsuit continued.

Reps for Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars have not responded to requests for comment.
