It reminds me of a story I heard Paul Anka, the singer and  songwriter, tell on the Howard Stern Show several months ago. Anka is known as the writer of the "Tonight Show with Johnny Cason"  theme song.  But Howard knew that, as a requirement to get that  song -- and the lucrative royalties that went with it -- as the  official theme that Anka had to agree to give Carson co-writer  credit.  So, officially, both Carson and Anka are the co-writers and  have shared through the years a 50/50 split on the royalties  although everyone knows -- wink, wink, nudge, nudge -- that Carson  didn't write a note that it was all done by Anka. So Stern said to Anka: wasn't that Carson a prick for doing that to  you?  And Anka's response was 'no, he wasn't.  That's the way things  were done in those days and if I didn't want to have it as the theme  of the show I was perfectly free to decline the offer." Remember "Lennon & McCartney"? Do you really think John Lennon had anything to do with "Yesterday" or "Martha My Dear" or Paul with "Instant Karma"? The list is long.
