As I remeber, Zaentz sued over Fogerty using his name in
the song, even though it had a different spelling, and won
that lawsuit also.  

Later pressings of the album had an updated track listing
with "Vanz Can't Dance."  I don't remember if the song
itsself was re-recorded or if only the title was changed.
