I was hoping we would just reuse the same Sex Drive image!
That was quite a funny episode, really enjoyable. I hope someone with some copyright knowledge contacts you with more information. When Elan said that the copyright was filed over 30 years after it was composed, and that it was filed by someone who didn’t actually participate in the composition of the work, I had to skip back and make sure I heard that right because it sounded so sketchy.
