Reply to comment by gwaydms in TIL Australian band, Men At Work were sued over their song "Down Under" for similarities to an Australian nursery rhyme "Kookaburra". by El-Hairy
He had very famously been sued (and lost) over Come Together. Part of the settlement was recording some Chuck Berry songs, which ultimately became the Rock and Roll album.
(I’m not sure how he was the one in court when Come Together, like everything else, was a Lennon-McCartney credit.)

They credited both, even when one wrote the song from what I remember. Maybe he knew more about how it was written.
