Song that played when Avery and Karl were kissing


In "Avery Dreams of kissing Karl" what is the R&B song that plays

It's a knockoff of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." They probably didn't use the actual song for a couple of reasons. One, they may not have had the funds to buy the rights to use the song in the episode. Two, it could create a problem with parents by having a song titled "Let's Get It On" in a kids' show.

Let's Get It On is one of those overused songs in movies and TV shows that has become shorthand for telling the audience that the characters are about to get it on.

Here's a comparison of the two:

Oh, I didn't know you were elaborating. I just thought that you'd replied with basically the same thing I said.

Also the Marvin Gaye estate is probably a bit sensitive to others using his songs after the whole "blurred lines" court case. Or maybe Disney was aware of the fact that Gaye's people got millions for Robin Thicke and Pherrell copyright violation

I seriously doubt Disney would've used the song without getting the rights first. Disney is always super serious about protecting their own rights. And I'm sure the rights were way too expensive for a small scene on a DC sitcom.

Damn, DWAB version is better and it will probably never see the light of day.... thank you both
