Collage claims that Ronson and Mars have been big fans of Minneapolis/1980s electro-funk soul of which Collage was a part. The suit also alleges that there is “reason to believe that Ronson and Mars have heard and been influenced by Young girls“.

Collage isn’t the first band to accuse Mars and Ronson of lifting their song.
