Per Wikipedia: “The Cunnilingus Champion of Company C” was the subject of a lawsuit filed by MCA Music against Wilson, and which was decided in favor of the plaintiffs in 1976. The court found that the song, which openly borrows the melody from “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” by Don Raye and Hughie Prince, “could not be construed as a burlesque of plaintiff’s work per se”, but was merely a “commentary on an era” and therefore was not protected by fair use. As a result, the defendants were found liable for copyright infringement.
