Fun, Fun, Fun starts off with a Berry-esque guitar intro. The "homage" excuse didn't work and Berry didn't want to sue a fellow musical genius.

The compromise: A writing credit on the label of the 45.

If there you have any 45 in existence without Chuck's name on it, that might cover your retirement years.
