Hi Michelle
It's correct that Edward Grieg is credited the music, and Kim Larsen &
Martin Andersen the Danish lyric's....
Normally Kim Larsen does not steel he's music. But he has been dragt into
court a few times, and if i'm not wrong, even has a recent case running. But
i guess he win's that one too. But they usually goes on, that he has made
some small changes to lyric's or the music, but still credited the original
author for their part. The opposite Less Hunphreys, that made som very
small changes, and claimed that he wrote it all....If that was true, he
might have a pretty white hair, " Battle of New Orleans " is a pretty old
song
My Best Regards
Benny..
