OT: Music suggestions
I will be producing some bumpers for a local elementary school that will go before the morning announcements. Normally I would use some age appropriate music, however, this year they are going through a construction project so they want the music to have a construction/work orientation. The school has a broadcast license so copyright is not a concern. I have been wracking my brains for music but drawing a lot of blanks and hope maybe I could get some music suggestions. Right now I am thinking of: Chain Gang, Build Me Up Buttercup, Whistle While You Work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

While the school may have a broadcast license, that may not be the same as Broadcast Rights. A broadcast license may be just for the station itself and could have nothing to do with the licensing of music played on the station.You as the producer should also be concerned about Mechanical Reproduction rights (you are re-recording the music). You shouls also look in to Synchronization Rights because you are using the theme of the lyrics etc. to convey the message of construction. Because of that you will also need the Sync rights. You should also consider the perfromance rights issue because that is seperate from a boradcast rights. The Harry Fox Agency in NY will be glad to help you for a fee!

If I Had a Hammer
Build a Bridge
When I Build My House
I won’t get involved in the rights issues but you can find these songs on iTunes and other online stores.

I would definately consider using one of the many buy-out music libraries. You will get the licenses you need then plus it’s legal.
Try Music to hues or Opus, but do a search on Buy-out music. Those are the 2 I use mostly plus I have Sonic Fire Smart Sound Pro.
You could tear out most of your hair trying to get all the permissions and licenses you’ll need on popular music.
