Remember, Desmond Child got songwriting credits for Prayer even though he only had the idea with the talkbox.

Desmond also got credit on Bad Medicine just for suggesting they use the chorus of one song integrated into that one (That's what you get for falling in love...). Jon and Richie said they were "pissed off" (jokingly) that it was such a great idea because they put so much time into writing Bad Medicine that they didn't want to credit anyone, but Desmond being the brilliant writer that he was did make the song better with that suggestion.
