Maybe that doesn't.....but this WAS kind of funny. REM sued IBM 
for its use of the song, arguing that it did not want to be associated 
with the company. Though I believe IBM had recorded its own 
version, REM felt that the song had become associated with the 
band.

Turns out that REM's version is a cover of a relatively obscure 60's 
or 70's tune. No word if REM turned over any part of any settlement 
to the original authors.
