It is actually a controversial song >because Vanz is the last name of Fogerty's ex-manager, who Fogerty accused >of stealing royalties or some such. If you listen to the song, the chorus goes >something like "Vanz cant danz but he'll steal your money..." Actually, Zaenz was the name of the guy who owned (or ran) the record company Fogerty worked for in Berkeley. The song was originally called "Zanz Can't Dance" but Zaenz threatened to sue and the song's name was changed in later printings of the album and also on the video. I hve an original copy from before the name was changed. I wonder i it'll be worth something... '`'`' Ken '`'`'`
