Sorry for the crappy quality, but it's only because I don't want those damn fat cat WMG coming down on me to get money for hookers and blow. Anyway, this is the 1930's song Anything Goes by Cole Porter. Heard in the game Fallout 3 over GNR.
LYRICS:
Times have changed,
And we've often rewound the clock,
Since the Puritans got a shock,
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
If today, any shock they should try to stem,
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them.
In olden days a glimpse of stocking,
Was looked on as something shocking,
But now, God knows,
Anything goes.
Good authors too,
Who once knew better words,
Now only use four letter words writing prose.
Anything goes.
If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like,
Or me undressed you like,
Why nobody will oppose!
When every night,
The set that's smart,
Is intruding at nudist parties,
In studios.
Anything goes.
When Mrs. Ned McLean (God bless her!),
Can get Russian Reds to 'yes' her,
Than I suppose,
Anything goes.
When Rockefeller still can hoard,
Enough money to let Max Gordon,
Produce his shows,
Anything goes.
The world has gone mad today,
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And days night today,
And that gent today,
You gave a cent today,
Once had several châteaux.
When folks who still can ride in jitneys,
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys,
Lack baby clothes.
Anything goes.
When Sam Goldwyn,
Can with great conviction,
Instruct Anna Sten in diction,
Then Anna shows,
Anything goes.
When you hear that,
Lady Mendl standing up,
Now does a handspring landing up,
On her toes!
Anything goes.
Just think of those shocks you've got,
And those knocks you've got,
And those blues you've got,
From those news you've got,
And those pains you've got,
(If any brains you've got!),
From those little radios.
So Mrs. R,
With all her trimmings,
Can broadcast a bed from Simmons,
Cause Franklin knows,
Anything goes!

Somehow I get the impression that either you yourself, or someone you know, has been receiving cease-and-desist letters

I wonder how that could be?

Okay, seriously, WMG and UMG are complete, money-grubbing bastards and I wish no luck for either of the companies. In fact, I hope they will be mobbed by angry YouTubers and killed in a blaze of fire. I have to quote the analogy that, consider the music tracks as some bottles of cola; must we pay money to Coca-Cola for permission to share cola with our friends? If we had to, then it'd be awfully stupid, but hey, that's corporate moneygrubbing!

'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
In Soviet Russia, Plymouth Rock will land ON THEM!
