Oops, Up Side Ya Head Said Oops Upside Ya Head!

 The family of the musicians who birthed the song that gave rise to UptownFunk are suing for the royalties...  "UptownFunk gonna give it to you.  UptownFunk gonna give it to you... ":

The family of late Gap Band members Robert and Ronnie Wilson have filed a lawsuit against global music label BMG for unpaid royalties on 2014 Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars song “Uptown Funk.” A Rolling Stone report claims that BMG has “failed and refused” to pay Ronnie’s widow Linda Wilson, Robert’s daughter Robin and LaTina, and additional family members.

Having filed the suit last week, the family claims that BMG has either “retained all funds due to plaintiffs for its own benefit and enjoyment” or “wrongfully diverted” the funds. The Gap Band’s third member and lead singer, Charlie Wilson, was not named in the lawsuit.  

“Despite its obligations to account for and pay to plaintiffs their share of all income received from the ‘Uptown Funk’ musical composition, BMG has refused and failed to provide either the funds due to plaintiffs or an accounting, despite plaintiffs’ repeated demands therefor,” the complaint reads...

Don't believe me, just watch: 

In 2015, Robert and Ronnie Wilson were credited as co-songwriters of “Uptown Funk” in an agreement to avoid a potential copyright lawsuit, per AV Club. The Gap Band’s 1979 song “Oops Upside Your Head” was sampled on “Uptown Funk,” with the two brothers being given 3.4 percent of the copyright and music publishing rights for the Ronson and Mars song. In 2016, “Uptown Funk” received Grammy trophies for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 58th Grammy Awards.
