As far as I know, ASCAP licensing only refers to performance and broadcast (such as on the radio or over the loudspeakers at a public event or place).

I do not believe this licensing applies to commercials, movies, TV shows, etc. Permission to use licensed music in that format appear to be outside the scope of ASCAP so if for instance, Coca-Cola wants to use a Neil Young song for a commercial, they will need to negotiate with Neil Young. But if a radio station or a convention hall wants to play a Neil Young song, all they have to do is pay ASCAP their fees.

Did Ann and Nancy write or help write the song?

Thank you for your clarifications, your posts. Even if you don’t know for absolute fact, I appreciate the commentary.
