Writing credits; I guess not everybody knows about this

The website for german royalties-managing agency "Gema" has an online-search, which has the writing credits of many UKJ songs, except the ones from Motel California (must be something with the label). You can check it out yourself here: http://online.gema.de/werke/home.jsp?lan=en

I also made a list of all the writing-credits I know about, sources being both the gema-website and several interviews / the biographies on HMA. I think I'd be cool if we could compile all the known credits in this thread, so just post everything you know and that's missing in this list / wrong in the list and I'll edit the post. Order is music / lyrics, so Milkman's Son eg is Dave - music, Whit & Dave - lyrics. I don't know who did what on AMLW, the credits seem to be "combined".

Goddamn Devil: Klaus
Come Tomorrow: Klaus/Roger/Cordell/Whit

I just read that in an Interview with Whit on karaokeman's site:

Quote:
 
We recorded some tw enty songs , of which we wrote the half on our own and the other half was bought .


Is that true or is he just joking? Seems very strange for UKJ to hire outside writers to write songs for them...

In france you have to pay to sing a song from someone else to the SACEM.
