Here is one for you all...
I am writing a song (I do this sometimes
) In the song, I have a coda where, cheekily, the line
Psycho Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'estfits perfectly to the theme, and the music.
It is one line only, and I am mostly "saying" rather than singing the melody. (Not too far from the original, I guess!)
I am purposefully quoting. Not stealing. Now. Do I need permission to do this? Is a cheeky lift fine?
Should this end up on an album I release down the line, I don't want to run into litigious B.S. Even as small fry you need to be careful...
Thoughts? Knowledge people?
