The Most Expensive Song To License For A Movie.

[Warstud]

I was a bit stunned when I heard this on the radio today. Does anybody care to guess what the most expensive song to license for a movie is ? No looking it up either ....that's cheat'n.

 

[ctechbob]

Huh,I did look it up. I would have put money on a Michael Jackson or Beatles tune. Interesting who they say it is, wonder why?

 

[Cujet]

Crosby Stills Nash?

 

[aquariuscsm]

I looked it up, but I wont tell

 

[Warstud]

Crosby Stills Nash?

Name the Song

 

[reemoeMO]

Had I known it was them, I actually would have guessed another of theirs!

 

[mccandish]

I had to look it up. Weird. I thought "Fortunate Son" would have had some pull.

Spoiler: Clicking here will instantly reveal the band name to you!

You could pick any of their other 192 songs and no one could tell the difference

AC/DC Thunderstruck - I only knew because I saw an article yesterday on it

Great. A tiresome, overplayed song by an overplayed band. But not surprising. Look, it was a good song, but it's been played to death.

I would have bet on the Beatles too.

In one of my electrical engineering classes in college, someone had carved in on a wooden chair I was sitting on:
"The world needs AC/DC" with the AC/DC logo which I thought was very clever!!

Someone else had carved in under it:
"AC/DC is a loud noise the world can do without". lol

Not sure why I still remember it but I do
Maybe because AC and DC and noise = unwanted signal

I’m guessing the Celine Dion song in Titanic.

Something Coldplay?

Never a fan of, "Heavy Metal". AC/DC or otherwise.

To me it represented a sound similar to that of throwing a cinder block into a top loading washing machine on spin cycle.

I know that they never sing the Happy Birthday song.

 

[mk378]

The latest court decision on "Happy Birthday" determined that it is in the public domain.

Nothing produced after 1934 will ever be in the public domain. It's no coincidence that 1934 is the year of the first Mickey Mouse cartoon.

 

[Hyundai Respecter]

Eh, I wouldn’t pay for that song. Overplayed and boring.

Heard this on the radio yesterday. Half a million to play that song is what the radio host said. Seen AC/DC 7 times in Philadelphia --- one of my favorite Rock N Roll Bands of all time.

I've heard this song a lot and I mean a lot at Marshall University home football games. Tying into the "Thundering Herd" nickname.
