The Ambassadors of Morocco appear to be following a fairly
conventional commercial band route. While RIAD Records appears to be
a name for them self publishing there is nothing to suggest that they
have any interest in releasing there songs under a free license or the
like.

On the one hand, I agree. On the other, if I had a starting band, the
massive exposure of Wikipedia might be hard to resist. If we would
want them to release their song under a free licence for the
fundraiser, (and that's if. I want them, but that doesn't mean other
people want them) asking them just puts us at risk of them saying
thanks, but no thanks

With the lyrics being:

 Wikipedia, Wikipedia, has twisted my mind inside out and upside down. 
Wikipedia, Wikipedia, ain't work nothing but fun and laughter all 
around. Wikipedia, Wikipedia, I'm losing my way everyday tuned to the 
sound of Wikipedia, Wikipedia.

I don't think it's a very effective song for fundraising, or promoting 
Wikipedia in general.

I agree, the song really has nothing to do with Wikipedia itself. They could
of replaced Wikipedia with any internet website name and to me the song
would have the same meaning.

Well, Dick, it's got a good beat and you can dance to it...

Maybe not fundraiser material, but it made me smile. :-)
