Roger in Baltimore Lyr Req: swing on a star parody (10) RE: Lyr Req: swing on a star parody 22 Nov 05


Scotus,

Just a side note. The owner of "Swinging on a Star" has refused to grant permission for use of this song. Probably not a problem if you perform it, but don't put it on a CD. Mike Agranoff of New Jersey had prepared to put it on his CD. He didn't write for permission until the art work had already been done. So his CD "Or would you rather get a job" does not have on it the song referenced in the title.

Mike's a great guy. I tell this story just to warn others that copyright can make a difference and that using a tune does not make the song a parody (where permission wouldn't be needed).
