Fried-out Kombie to pay Kookaburra royalties...

,Oops... an Australian court rules that Men-at-Work, an Aussie band famous in the 80s, used part of the melody from a popular children song "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree" for their hit single "Down Under".

Traveling on a fried-out Kombie, on a hippie trail, head full of zombie....
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous

She took me in and gave me breakfast and she said...
Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder...

Those who knew me would have heard of their other popular & catchy song "Who Can It Be Now?" as a ringtone on my HTC. :)

Sad they now have to pay back royalties to Kookaburra...
