'I know you agree because you keep using it in ads for your Zero Hucks Given golf shirts. However, given that you haven’t paid to use it, maybe you should change the company name to ‘Zero Bucks Given’
Photo: Matt Baron/REX/Shutterstock/Matt Baron/REX/Shutterstock Even a fool would believe it: Bill Murray and the Doobie Brothers are currently engaged in an amusing legal feud over the unauthorized use of the band’s “Listen to the Music” in advertisements for Murray’s golf-apparel company. Per Rolling Stone, the trouble began on September 23, when lawyers for the classic rockers sent a legal warning to William Murray Golf for using the ditty in several commercials. “It’s a fine song.
In a pun-filled response to the warning on September 25, the firm representing Murray’s company insisted that since the Doobies were “not harmed” by the commercials, their legal options are slim. “I would like to compliment you on finding levity in the law at a time when the world and this country certainly could use a laugh. Your client’s demand was able to cut through the noise of the news cycle and remind us how much we all miss live music these days,” attorney Alexander Yoffe wrote.
