gaining permission from a band

As a group we listened to some songs by our three choices, and we have decided that we would like to make the music video and ancillary texts for "The 99s - Oh Me, Oh My" as we believe it is a fun song with a nice, steady beat. We believe that this would be a successful video if we did it to this song, however we must get permission to use the song from The 99s, therefore we sent them an email hoping that they will reply giving us permission. However, if not then we will have to get in contact with "The Painted Lilies" and ask for permission from them.






Thankfully, later that day they replied giving us permission to use their song, and also asking us not to make it too tacky. Here is the email that we got in response to ours.


This means that we can now start to plan our production work, and ancillary texts aswell, meaning that at the moment we are on schedule and are well on our way to creating our music video.
