If you want to play it safe, drop this idea entirely.  The author Spider (!)
Robinson once wanted to quote a few lines from a song in one of his novels and
the relevant legal types wanted reimbursement measured in *thousands* of US
dollars!  Fortunately for Robinson, the musician himself was angry with his
agent/publishers/whatever (I forget the details) and granted Robinson permission
essentially to spite them.  I wouldn't count on that kind of luck.
