That's yet another case of adult Millennials swiping boomer music and then running it into the ground. Pilot should sue except that copyright laws were a lot different back in 1974.

@ClaraListensprechen4 I agree except I think in this case, the band/songwriter gave permission.
The copyright thing used to be something like 7 consecutive notes (words? syllables?). I remember that from when The Clash got sued for starting to sing "I never felt so much like singing the blues" at the end of the song "London Calling." IIRC, they were losing the lawsuit so they changed it to the maximum they could get away with: "I never felt so much like" with an echo on "like." You probably knew this LOL
But I digress. David Paton of Pilot, who co-wrote the song seems very happy about all this, rather than wanting to sue. Meaning permission was granted to use the song and he got paid handsomely. Or at least I would hope so.

For the record, I hate the appropriation of the song regardless of how it was handled.

A corporation willing to pay for rights to a song is highly unusual--def not standard practice. Standard practice is to exploit music before the copyright laws changed, and that would be in the 1970s,
