Not only that, but the company bought the rights to the song ten years after Down Under was released, they shouldn't get a penny imo.

Sounds exactly like it really, Dragon, although I'm on the band's side. It seems that the company are only entitled to royalties from the last six years, unless I misunderstood, so hopefully the publishing company will end up with next to nowt. The lawyers will do well out of it of course.

'Striped over' = superb turn of phrase. There should be a worldwide petition available to sign in support of Men At Work for what is one of the daftest/catchiest tunes ever written. If it truly was plagiarism, it would have been spotted nearly 30 years ago imo.

I thnk the band acknowledge it was lifted Alex. I agree though, let's stripe over all publishing companies!

I think they should just smile, and give them a knuckle sandwich.

Indeed - a slapped jaw.

Complete farce-someone trying to make a quick dollar. When I break wind, it sounds like Chumbawomba-I get knocked down, but they don't try a court case against me. :D

Anyone got Max Cliffords number?

Think Max is busy sorting out where quite a few other men have been at work.
