Quit plagiarisms of my songwriting, fucko! Thread

@JoeEDangerously did you bother to tell @DerekJohnson Phil Lynott was a dirty rotten plagiarist? This weekend their 1973 cut "Night Life" comes up in my Spotify rotation and I'm like "Cool, my man Phil is covering Willie Nelson!" Oh but wait, he totally lifted the chorus and didn't bother to give Willie any co-songwriting credit. What the fuck, bud?

"The song "Night Life," on the 1974 Thin Lizzy album Nightlife, borrows the title and chorus of the Willie Nelson song, but Thin Lizzy lead singer Phil Lynott is credited as the song's sole writer.[14]"
