How many characteristics of a song can be reproduced in a new one without infringement? Is copying a song’s title and key (e.g. D major) enough?

The Verve used a sample from an orchestral version of a Rolling Stones song and the Stones got all the royalties from 1997-2019.
TBF it was looped through the whole song as the main sound. They probably should have seen some kind of trouble coming.
