How about the Goodman, 'Flying Saucer' tunes that were sued for not using the artists names correctly or without their permission?

Don't know where he got those lyrics! ??? Correct lyrics, "fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson, Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson."

Manson was actually upset with them for mentioning him in that one! Maybe because although they were one-hit wonders, they still had one hit more than he ever did! ;D
 
we forgot the most obvious one:

Reunion - "Life is a rock but the Radio Rolled Me"

Thanks for the correction. I really should check more than one source. Yeah, the '8 dust brothers' thing doesn't fit the beat.
