Seriously? So whenever someone says that line, we have to pay royalties to the BB? Oh Lord.

Umm yes.

Yes I don't agree with it as well, but they should have re-recorded that line so they wouldn't pay.

There has already been precedence.

On American Idol, David Archuleta cost Idol money when while singing Stand By Me, he ad-libbed "To all you beautiful girls." Which is Sean Kingston's song. They had to pay royalties.

It was the Beach Boys' publishers, not them. They (or at least Mike Love) seem pretty cool with it:

The big Texas cities are all full of transplants, so slang is all over the place. It's usually in the small and mid-sized cities that I've heard the "Hey, do you want a coke?" thing. When I'm in Dallas/Houston/Austin, it's "what do you want to drink?"

I personally switch between coke and soda (military brat). I think I only said "pop" when I lived in Indiana and visited family in Michigan.
