... sort of. So some people are suing Men At Work because the band stole the riff from an older song.
Incidentally, the riff was part of a song for the Girl Guides.
So now the injured parties (Larrikin Music) wants royalties from the song.
Am I the only one thinking this violates the ideals and whatchacallits of the Girl Guide movement? Wasn't the movement a sort of a hippy 'we love the world' crap movement in the first place?
Or was that just tactics to avoid bears? I don't know, I steered clear of them in my school. The whole campfire singing, running away from bears nonsense looked less fun than a lazy weekend playing Wolfenstein 3D.
