To throw yet one more log on this small bonfire, several years ago, I did a title search on BMI to see if anyone had used the title that Tim Brown and I had given to one of our co-writes. We had called (and still do) the song "Fishin'". On BMI alone, there were over one THOUSAND different original songs titled "Fishin'". Armed with that knowledge, I decided to forgo a title search on ASCAP and SESAC. It was painfully obvious to me that, clever as we thought we were, we had to stand in line behind a lot of other clever people. I haven't done any other title searches, as the process seems pointless.
