Sergeant Preston of the Yukon

Sergeant Preston of the Yukon refers to both a television series that ran in the United States from 1955 to 1958, and the title of a song written and performed by Ray Stevens. However, the producers of the program, King Features, didn't like Stevens using their characters without permission and threatened him with a lawsuit. Unaware that he had committed copyright infringement, Stevens agreed to pull the record with "Sergeant Preston of the Yukon" on it from the shelf, and King dropped the suit.
