Were you asking about the song by Pitbull or asking about the song by Queen?

The I'm free to do what I want song by Pitbull is not the same song from the older I want to break free ad.  I want to break free is originally by Queen.  I don't know if the version in the ad is a remake or if dead men who sing no songs can indeed sell rights to songs.

Someone/something owns the rights to the song (likely Queen or their record company) and they certainly can sell said rights.

I don't think I'd ever seen/heard the Pitbull ad but I'd definitely seen the Queen ad.  I must not be part of the demographic the Pitbull ad was targeting.

The song by Queen was also used years earlier in a Coca-Cola commercial.

The Pitbull commercial is from when Escape first went into service.

Never heard of him until the ship came out.
