Copyright question for those who know

Post by doc7string »

A song I am currently writing has a title which I lifted and mildly altered from a sports announcer. This is a catch phrase of his that he uses frequently, and is well know to those who listen to him. Do I need to get permission to use it as a title or is it fair game?
