Conan Addendum

January 25, 2010 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

I found this funny enough to warrant its own post: I spent the weekend debunking some rumors about the presence of the original master of The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" on one of the last episodes of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. What I almost completely overlooked was another back catalogue-oriented news story that sprung up from the last episode.

Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, drummer for The Roots (a great R&B group in their own right and the house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, which follows The Tonight Show), let slip on his Twitter account that there was a hefty price tag for another musical moment from Conan's last night as host last Friday. His band, led by E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg, greeted guest Tom Hanks with a rendition of The Beatles' "Lovely Rita." How much did that set NBC back, according to ?uestlove?

that first stunt was what it was (no spoilers) but tom's walkon music on conan is on my "restricted" list---wow a $500,000 walkon song lol.

So while the Bugatti Veyron Mouse's theme may not have dented NBC's wallet, it looks like The Fab Four did. At least they didn't use the master for that one.

Mike Duquette

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
