The Laromlab controversy and just plain piracy/plagiarism has struck the Swedish chiptunes scene. The band Goto 80 has just realized their music was also appropriated by Laromlab and used as the musical backdrop to the song “History of the Butt” by Kentucky Prophet.
Any evidence of the song “History of the Butt” including the YouTube video has been wiped from the internet, in fact Laromlab’s complete musical identity has been erased. It’s a little sad but this was the worst case of musical plagiarism I’ve ever heard of.
Here’s the original track titled “Llamawarning”.
