Reply to comment by TrowAway2736 in TIL the former members of Timbuk 3 have refused to license the song "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" for commercials, including a $900,000 offer from AT&T and offers from Ford, the U.S. Army, and Bausch & Lomb for their Ray-Ban sunglasses. by big_macaroons

They seem like a pretty big company. If they're winging it on music rights the bills are usually pretty impressive. I do work with image licensing and have seen bills for $5000 per image from Getty. They're vicious. I doubt music firms are any less generous.
