Well I never.... they kept this quiet.... learn something new everyday...
Basically Rolf Harris was 80 years old the other day, and in the course of an interview, or an article he let slip about a a lawsuit and an out of court settlement between himself and Adam Ant back in the 80's.
Essentially, "Prince Charming" ripped off an earlier (1965) track of Rolf Harris called "War Canoe"... rather than risk the bad publicity involved with a court case 'Ant & co.' decided to settle out of court for a substantial undisclosed sum & share of the royalties.
This is even more blatant than Vanilla Ice's 'sampling' of Queen/David Bowie.

{Would have just 'embedded' the YouTube clips, but that didnt work for some reason. It has before....maybe a temporary glitch}.
Mod edit : Just need to take out the '&' and everything after it in the url and put that in the [youtube] tags.
