CANBERRA - RECORD label EMI lost an appeal on Thursday against a court ruling that the Grammy award-winning Australian band Men at Work stole a section of the famous 1980s hit, Down Under, from a popular folk song.

Australia's Federal Court upheld a decision that part of the song's melody came from the children's ditty, Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree, written more than 70 years ago by Australian teacher Marion Sinclair for a Girl Guides competition.
