There is no way that ‘baby,baby don’t get hooked on me’ is “intellectual” property by any stretch of the term.

Believe it or not the Rivingtons successfully sued the Trashmen for the writing credit to "Surfin Bird" because they claimed the lyric "Pappa oom mow mow pappa oom mow mow..." was intellectual property.

LOL. Didn’t the Oakridge Boys use that same lyric on one of their tunes?
