Im sure we have all heard the infamous "Banana Phone" Well heres the deal: I burned it to a CD to play in the car (just for laughs...) My grandmother was in the car and wants me to burn it for the local AM radio station, since she knows one of the morning people. I am now having second thoughts about burning the song. I do know I got it legally (I think), I didnt get it from any of the P2P sites, I found it through a google web search.

However, now when you search for it, I cant locate the page. Doesnt that mean it was taken down? FYI the song was made in 1994 and with the Way the RIAA has been going, I cant afford a 10k Lawsuit (nor do I want my life ruined because of a song being played on the radio). So what should I do? Im not familiar with copy rights and radio stations, but they are an Oldies station, and play some old songs (along with short clips of "new" songs inbetween. You dont need a copyright to play music on the radio do you?

i dont know the name of the artist, but i think thats about the only person or the record company that you might need to contact, but normally i think they radio station should have itthat is a older song, that was rewritten to the video that kid made

Not sure on the laws but i dont think an AM station will get youa 10k lawsuit, maybe they will get yelled at

We have one local radio station that used to play it all the time and they never got into trouble for it. They stated up front that they had found it on the internet.

The singer/writer is Raffi.

I think this one is pretty funny
