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.

-
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.
