In 1927 Vincent Youmans wrote Hallelulaj! In 1984 Leonard Cohen wrote Hallelulaj. WHY?

You may or may not be familiar with the Youmans lyrics


"Satan lies awaitin' and creatin' skies of gray
Hallelulaj hallelulaj helps to shoo the clouds away


I guess you can't patent a word can you? Or own the rights to the title of a song written in the long ago.

    No cannot copyright just one word that is used commonly.

    If we could it would eliminate all new music. 
    To be in violation of copyright there must be more in common than just the title. That title could literally be the only thing the songs have in common.
