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.
