Larrikin Records is a record company founded in 1974 by Warren Fahey. Larrikin started as an independent label and was sold in 1995 to Festival Records.[1]

In 1990 Larrikin bought the copyright to Kookaburra, which had been written in 1932, for $6,100. In 2009 they sued Men at Work for including two bars of Kookaburra at the beginning of their song Down Under, attempting to claim 60% of the profits made by the song. They were awarded 5% of the profits, which was changed to $100,000.[2]
