It's not a gift if you pay for it (most popstars) or blackmail people (Ozzy, or rather Sharon Osbourne).
Dry County should give you a rough idea how much you can add to a song and still not get a writing credit in BJ. I also really doubt that the guitar riff of I Want You was written by Jon, but then again, Hugh wrote KTF's bass riff and wasn't credited.
