In the legal dispute, a judge ruled that the band had copied the song’s distinctive flute riff from campfire song Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree, and they were ordered to hand over 5 per cent of royalties.

Hauri is facing a steep legal challenge, with Astley selecting Richard Busch to represent him in the case. “In an effort to capitalise off the immense popularity and goodwill of Mr Astley, defendants … conspired to include a deliberate and nearly indistinguishable imitation of Mr Astley’s voice,” the complaint reads.Īstley is seeking “millions of dollars in damages, as well as profits made from the song”. In the complaint, Astley’s lawyers claim the public “could not tell the difference” between the impersonator’s voice and Astley. The impersonator is heard doing vocal riffs throughout the track, even saying “get money” in the chorus in a singing style very similar to Astley. Unlike other noteworthy music lawsuits, like that involving Katy Perry’s Dark Horse, which took aim at elements of the song’s instrumentals, Astley has taken issue with the song’s vocal performance.īetty begins with an unnamed artist singing the chorus of Astley’s original song, with near-identical vocals.

But while Astley agreed to the interpolation, he argues that he never gave Hauri permission to copy his voice.
