Billy Ray Cyrus was sued in 1993 in U.S. Federal District Court for allegedly stealing the idea for his biggest hit, "Achy Breaky Heart."
The lawsuit, brought by Danny Mote of Winston, Georgia alleged that Cyrus used substantial parts of a song Mote wrote in the 1970s titled "Cryin' Eyes."
Cyrus responded he wrote the song while in his pickup truck, singing into a cassette recorder.
Cyrus also claims that he came up with the idea for "Still The King" while on his tour bus. It seems Cyrus has a propensity for coming up with ideas in moving vehicles!
The lawsuit was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of money.
