Songs that have resulted in lawsuits, either for lyrics or for borrowing too much of the music.
"Hawkwind," Hawkwind
Founding members David Brock and Nik Turner had a court battle over the band's name Hawkwind. Dave Brock stated that he came up with the name deriving it from mythology. Nik Turner stated that it was a nickname given to him because his nose was like that of a beak, and he had tremendous flatulence, causing someone to call him Hawkwind, and he therefore name the band. I go with Dave Brock in every way. He is Hawkwind.
