Thread Name: Lyr Req: Help with words - Nightly White Statins
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Help with the words
Michael whilst you can write a parody to Knights in White Satin, the original copyright stays with the writer of the original work. The tune remains their copyright, and if you use their original words, you cannot legally claim any part of those words as your exclusive copyright. You are adapting a copyright work, and have to give main credit to Justin Hayward and his publishers, not yourself.
