Hearing the Eagles or solo songs unexpectedly!

Just saw a new ad for Disney's latest "Cars 3" movie and they used "Take it to the Limit" in it and it was the actual song!!! First time in a long time, if not ever, I've heard an Eagles song in a commercial for a movie. It aired just a few minutes ago during the Stanley Cup hockey finals on NBC.

Thanks for sharing that buffyfan145, it's marvelous news for Randy . I expect he'll notice a spike in his income, even if Henley and Frey's estate don't.

We haven't seen much Eagles music in movies since HFO.

That's so cool, Buffyfan! I thought the band was really strict about allowing the use of Eagles songs in movies. Now young kids will become familiar with the song like they did with "Life is a Highway."

Thanks for sharing the news Buffyfan! I will definitely keep an eye out for it.

No problem and it was such a great surprise. I have heard before about how the Eagles were picky about who used their music and it could be expensive, but if anyone can afford it Disney would be it. LOL Now just wondering if it's in the actual movie.

Such a coincidence! I just stumbled onto this on YouTube and felt, I should post it somewhere. Obviously here

Guess how much it costs to play an Eagles song on TV (in 2014)?

I like the OOTN backdrop by the way

That is so cool! My kids and I have seen that trailer but it was a different song. According to them there's a lot of hype and buzz about this one b/c the 2nd installment was so disappointing. I sure hope TITTL is on the soundtrack.

Thanks for that link, Dawn. I've wondered about Randy's publishing company, Nebraska Music. Not to go too far OT, but I noticed Billy Dean covered "Saturday Night" and someone named "Brooks, K" covered "Hearts on Fire"--could that be Kix Brooks of Brooks and Dunn? Interesting.

I sure hope TITTL is on the soundtrack.

It's not listed, drat! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cars_3

That ASCAP site is real interesting, but some of the info seems garbled. Why is Randy listed as the sole writer of Bitter Creek; the performer of "Wanna Be With You" was Nelson, Rick not Ruk; Don and Glenn did not write "Midnight Flyer" and so on. What is "Paces" what is "ON N A QU UNE VIE"...
