Default Do you think Enya is really annoyed she didnt release "Boadicea"?

Enya, an Irish songwriter, made the song Bodaicea for her album in 1987 however chose not to release it.

Then years after The Fugees, sampled the song in their single "Ready Or Not". The Fugees got a #1 in the UK and a #2 in the US. Enya was not happy so she wanetd to go to court and sue then, but then backed out.

Then a few more years later, Mario Winans sampled the song in his single "I Dont Wanna Know". He didnt know it had already been sampled by The Fugees. His single went to #1 in the UK and #2 in the US also. Enya was going to sue him too, but came to an agreement and the single was credited as Mario ft. Enya.

Now, I would be really gutted if I was her, because if she had released it, she would have got a #1 with it.... i bet shes pissed off. But its quite funny how she was so protective over her song, should have released it!"

Here are teh different versions:

Enya- Boadicea:

I can see why she didn't release it to be honest, it's basically an instrumental song and very few of them do really well in the charts.

Yeah it has been nicked, a few times. The Fugees one was not too bad I guess, but I do prefer the original.
