No doubt the laws for the type of thing Goodman did are different from
the laws regarding copyright infringement on songs, but it sounds as
if Goodman may have believed a myth that seems to have been around
forever. We used to hear that one could use up to 4 bars of another
song with no infringement, and sometimes I would hear that it was 8
bars. Both are incorrect, but the latter is especially ridiculous since,
in the case of an AABA song, 08 bars could be 1/2 the song, melodically.
I'm no music law expert, but attorney Al Schlessinger was a guest during
a Tommy Boyce songwriting seminar that I took around '76, and he
discussed this type of thing in some detail.

Subject: The Debs Cover Tony Hatch
Going through a box of recently purchased old 45s tonight I came
across a copy of the Tony Hatch penned "The Life And Soul Of The
Party" by The Debs on Mercury (72566). Flip side is "My Best
Friend". Produced by Joe Venneri. Both sides are nice; pleasant
little bouncy white girl pop fluff. Any info available on this
group?
