Affiliate Disclosure : Songfacts Pages

Songfacts participates in the Amazon Associates Program, and in the Musicnotes affiliates program. This means there are some links that will go to their sites, and any purchase made could earn us a commission. In the case of Musicnotes, the links will say "Get the sheet music"; the Amazon links typically go to books or DVDs that are mentioned as part of the song or artist information. We're comfortable linking to these sites because they provide good background information on the item and are very reputable.

We're also partnered with Lionfish Music for song licensing. On some pages, you'll see links that say "License this song," which offer information on what kinds of licenses are required for various uses, and a form to get a quote or more information from Lionfish. We earn a commission on some sales that are made through these links. Lionfish has been of great service to our users, offering valuable advice and helping them through the often bewildering licensing process.
