I have some strange memory of having heard that song sung by a very young Elijah Wood, but I can't remember where...

EDIT: Oh, wait, what is Internet for? I've just found it: Forever young

Oh cool, wasn't totally expecting a response here. If you don't have much time to look into it yourself, I would probably suggest licensing songs to an existing RBN author or charting group, and have them do all the hard work for you.

I'd say send an email to Ozone Entertainment (admin@theozoneradio.com), who has been working with Ron Wasserman and Eiffel 65 (he's saving "Blue" for Rock Band 3, when Keyboards will be added) and doing other pretty cool stuff. Or perhaps submit them through RockGamer Studios, who put out those two tracks from Left 4 Dead. There are quite a few other options but I could see that getting a bit overwhelming, so I just picked out a couple who would probably be reasonably well equipped to deal with the somewhat more complicated licensing of songs which were written for video games.

Any chance on getting some of those MIDIs, Jared? I'd love to play some of these with my school's jazz band.
