I think that since Adryan Russ wrote the lyrics to "Save the Earth" (the original song is owned by Toho Music Publishing and was composed and arranged by Riichiro Manabe), could she have claim to said lyrics in the AIP version of the film?
Hmmm...she could since she is credited as both co-writer and singer. But then, that could also be problematic as Guy Hemric was also co-writer and who's to say who came up with most of the lyrics. Not doubting that Russ and Hemric were a team on this, but since Hemric is no longer around it would be a bit difficult to come to terms with it. And so far, I haven't heard anything about Russ going after Orion (i.e., way back when it was released on video), MGM or Toho for publication rights disputes.

But then, out of curiosity, does anybody know what happened to Adryan Russ: Did she ever do any more song writing or singing?
