He's the only collaborator on the TOH album doing this.

Hi Marie: I'm vaguely irritated by Mr. Fox as well. I think it's the fact that, despite the song being officially credited to several other collaborators as well, including Adam, he seems to have a need to reinforce at every opportunity that he alone wrote it. Only a few weeks ago, for example, he posted his first draft of the lyrics---just to make sure that everyone knew that they were all written by him

(Not very subtle!)
The other thing that annoyed me (and a few others) was that before GT had even been released (a week or so before it came out), he announced that he was going to release his own alternative rock version. He was entitled to do that, I guess, but I thought his timing was a bit disrespectful.
Still, if I'd written something as good as GT---and then heard it performed by the world's best pop/rock vocalist, accompanied by Queen---perhaps I'd be blowing my own trumpet just a tad as well

(It'd be nice if he occasionally acknowledged Adam's brilliant singing of the song, though...)
