"After a year of wrangling with Warner Music UK over the usage of our 1992 recording of 'Love Is Strange' in a US TV ad for Hummer cars," say Ben and Tracey today, "we finally received an apology recently and a concession to consult us on similar licenses in future, whether or not we have a right to an artist veto. The negotiations were conducted drily and laboriously by their business affairs department. We were also finally informed of the fee received for the usage. While we cannot have the advert withdrawn, we have donated the Everything But The Girl portion of the fee to five leading charities - Oxfam, Greenpeace, Friends Of The Earth, Amnesty International and Unicef."
