Return of the Baarmy Army

Right: members of the Baarmy Army, together with their backing group

The BBC informs the IPKat today of the return of the Baarmy Army, the singing sheep from Cumbria whose painfully irritant rendition of "Jingle Bells" attracted over a hundred thousand downloads last year.

Says the IPKat, is this yet another example of the recording industry exploiting the performers? Merpel agrees: what’s in it for the sheep after their performers' rights expire, she demands to know.

    Prizes won by sheep are a dubious blessing. A couple of years ago a client invited me to the Smithfield Show. The prize sheep was on show but skinned and butchered as a set of joints. I am not sue whether it enjoyed the award.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
