Don't worry, Arny, it's not original to him (unless he did it
before the very early '60's), the Beatles did it first in the opening
seconds of "I Feel Fine."
Furthermore, effects like this are more like a "riff" or "lick"
than a melody, and can't be covered under copyright.

Did you not get get that I was making a joke?
