Comment:

 Ridiculous. Beyond ridiculous. GAFL. This whole debate is over the use of
 two words which neither causes harm to the copyright holder nor implies
 someone other than the original composer created the work. You don't need
 a license to write about the song. You don't need a license to quote a
 snippet of the song. You don't need to indemnify a reader of your work
 containing the song title or sample of the lyrics.
 What we need here is common sense. I know I'm feeding the trolls here, so
 I apologize for that.
 GAFL.
