A long time ago your best friend played a song for you that she had written.
You loved the song and committed it to memory instantly.  You are now a
professional songwriter in Nashville making mega bucks, and have signed a
contract you are obligated to produce a certain number of songs per year. 
Your friend died two years ago, leaving you the only person aware of the fact
that she is the author of the song.  You need one more song to satisfy the
conditions of your contract, but you don't have enough time to write one. 
Do you steal your dead friend's song?  Do you give her writers credit?

        Stealing from the dead is pretty harsh.

  As Spike Lee said "Do the right thing"

Nope.  Wouldn't steal from a friend.

I would do what valerie said. After all, you are the one singing it, 
nothing wrong with it not being written by you. Look at any 10 cd's, at least
half of them will have songs written by other people.
