We will now hear case 742:

Mícheál O'Conaill Vs. Universal Music

Your honour I'm not a man to complain

But for the past 20 years my songs

original ones that I wrote

have been robbed

lifted whatever you call it

by the world's biggest pop stars

And not one penny has come my way to Ballynahaunig.

Universal Music how do you plead?

Universal Music pleads not guilty.

That these pop super stars have even heard of some

pub singer in a rural Irish town

is preposterous.

Me hole!

Mr O'Conaill the court will now hear your versions of these songs.

This one wrote in the summer of '94

I was on my own on the farm

but the hay needed harvesting

The earth needed hoeing.

♪ I've been trying to cut it right ♪

♪ Hay ♪

♪ I've been living a lonely life ♪

♪ Hoe ♪

♪ I've been sleeping here instead ♪

♪ Hay ♪

♪ I've been sleeping in a barn for a bed. ♪

♪ Hoe ♪

I'm just not hearing the similarities.

This one I wrote in the summer of '84

we had a scorcher of a summer

and we were afraid we'd lose the thatched roof

♪ Too hot ♪

♪ Hot Damn ♪

♪ Call the Gardaí and the fireman ♪

Yes the lyrics are similar

but the tune is completely different

Well its like this Judge I had an Aunt O'Connor

She's 10 years gone in the grave God bless her soul

But she was a lovely woman

She had a fierce sweet tooth

Get to the point please

On a Sunday I'd visit her and I'd always bring a cake

Or she wouldn't let me in the door

I wrote this one for her.

♪ My Aunt O'Connor don't ♪

♪ My Aunt O'Connor don't ♪

♪ Want some hun unless you got ♪

♪ Fairy buns son. ♪

Well maybe that is a little similar

♪ Who's after letting the dogs out? ♪

♪ Woof woof woof woof ♪

♪ Who's after letting the dogs out ♪

♪ Woof woof woof woof ♪

♪Jasus who let the dogs out? ♪

♪ I'll be riding shotgun ♪

♪ In me Massey Ferguson ♪

♪ Feeling... ♪

♪ My cows milk brings all the boys to the farm ♪

♪ Damn right it's better than Phelim's ♪

♪ Damn right it's better than Seán's ♪

Your honor we've agreed to settle out of court thank you.

Thank you for the court's time.

This court is adjourned.

♪ So you're a ♪

♪ tough guy ♪

♪ Just can't get enough guy ♪

♪ Like it really rough guy ♪

♪ Chest always so puffed guy ♪

Mr. O'Conaill please.

♪ Make your Momma sad guy ♪

Where did they get the instruments?
