Feargal Sharkey's A Good Heart was written by Lone Justice singer, Maria McKee, as a dig at former boyfriend, Benmont Tench of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers.

In reply Tench then wrote You Little Thief about McKee .... and gave that for Sharkey to sing and release that too.

Fleetwood Mac level of sniping, lol .

You little thief
You let me love you
You saw me stumbling
You watched me fall
You left me broken
Shattered and bleeding
But there's no hard feelings
There no feelings at all
You little thief
You little savage
You little beauty
You little whore
You've taken everything
I had to believe in
Now there's nothing
To believe in at all
So tell me how does it feel
To make a grown man wanna die
Does it make you uneasy
Does it every cross your mind
You little dream
You little nightmare
You little nothing
You little girl
You left me broken
There's no hard feelings
Cos when I needed you
You watched me fall

Whole Again by Atomic Kitten was written by my missus friend who sold it for £10k to the record company who then gave it to Atomic Kitten to record. She is not named as a songwriter as she sold that right and the song went on to be number one in the UK and many other countries.

Alice Coopers father was a vicar.

Status Quo were given "Rockin all over the world" by John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Van Halen always put in the small print, to have a bowl of brown m&m's with the brown ones taken out, in their dressing room, to show the contract had been fully read.

In a Van Halen video (think Hot For Teacher?) David Lee Roth has a wet patch on his trousers, he pissed himself as he couldn't be assed to go to the bathroom.

Possibly been posted before, but on the absolutely top tune, Voodoo Ray, the sample was taken from a Derek & Clive sketch, using the phrase, Voodoo Rage. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the sample machine could only capture Voodoo Ray.
