The reasons I am inclined towards the label being the theme is because of the lines about another song to sell.
that + "Now maybe you could learn to sing/Or even strum along".
That's why the song can't be about Richie + Jon wouldn't stoop so low.

Yes, of course! He gets publishing rights whenever he's credited. The Sat./Sun. song is on his ASCAP list of songs, I've just checked.
