WTF?
I just heard on CBC radio that the company that owns the rights to the Kookaburra song is suing Men At Work for plagiarism for "Land Down Under" (for back royalties, in other words).
I don't hear it. They have completely different tunes! Am I the only one who thinks this is a bit of a stretch?
"Land Down Under" is one of my daggy old favourites - I used to sing it at kareoke in Japan! I like the excuse to include it today. Bunch o'dags! Where the hell did they film the desert scenes? Doesn't look anything like Australia!
There weren't any good clips of the Kookaburra song sorry. There was one atrocious one of an American singing it completely wrong! And worse. So I'll spare you. But I suspect you know it anyway.
