Sorry, but no.

Many people ask this, and it gets kinda frustrating, so I thought I would make this.

It is a great suggestion to get a really cool popular song that everyone knows, however it's not usually possible. In order to use any song on FFR, we have to get permission from the artist of the song. If they say we can use it, then w00 h00.

However, most popular bands and such want royalties, and sometimes it's not up to the individual artist, rather it is the recording company that makes decisions such as these. If you can get in contact with a recording company and get permission to use their songs, then congratulations! But sorry, it is EXTREMELY hard without paying any money.
