That would be "Give Peace a Chance," which is credited to John Lennon & Paul McCartney, but Yoko wants to have Paul's name taken off since he had nothing to do with it, and it was never recorded by the Beatles.
Both Paul and Yoko are being just plain silly about the authorship disagreement surrounding several Beatles songs, as well. It basically boils down to three different controversies:
1) Paul wants to reverse the authorship credits to all Beatles songs he wrote. He and John agreed to credit all songs that either of them wrote as Lennon-McCartney no matter who actually wrote it. Paul is seeking to change all the Beatles songs he wrote to be listed as McCartney-Lennon rather than Lennon-McCartney. He even attempted to do this on the live versions of several of his recent solo tour recordings, but Yoko has blocked everything so far.
2) Yoko wants Paul's name removed from "Give Peace a Chance" since it was never recorded by the Beatles, and even though John honored the old agreement and listed it as Lennon-McCartney. It was recorded with Plastic Ono Band before the Beatles broke up.
3) If Paul won't agree to remove his name from "Give Peace a Chance," then Yoko has half-heartedly threatened to have John's name added to all the songs on Paul's first solo album "McCartney," which was released before the Beatles had actually broken up but didn't contain John's name in any of the writing credits.
They're both nuts.
