Songwriting?

It's the age-old question: how do you write a song?  Is it better to have the music 100% done and try to write over it, possibly even from a recording?  Are lyrics easier to write first, and then adapt to a tune?  Maybe it's piecing together a few riffs with a melody, and seeing where it all goes, or ripping off an old favorite song and changing it slightly! (shitty indeed!)  Then the question becomes: does one person do it all, or is there group input?
Personally I enjoy having the framework of a song down, with a chorus pretty much written, then work on expanding the idea of the chorus lyrics and the rest of the music with the whole band - that way it becomes the band's song and the band's eventual style (because bands without their own style suck ass) and most of all it's just more fun!  ...strangely though our latest Hurricane Gun songs have been mostly impromptu - interesting...
