Figure 8 from Schoolhouse Rock and "The Squid & the Whale" soundtrack. I love this song.
Here's the Squid and the Whale version.
And
It brings back memories of childhood - I watched Schoolhouse Rock as a small child, also the melody has a kind of nostalgic soft feel to it. It also reminds me of ice skating as a child - although I was never quite that talented.
There's a weirdly melancholy but comforting feel to it. Also the last two lyrics of the song always send a chill up my spine.

It really depends on how motivated the rights holder is, and if they have the funds/legal representation to back them. I'm not kidding when I state it is expensive.
I totally understand why Marvin Gaye's estate went after Robin Thicke - that's cheapening the brand with a pop rendition. George Harrison - I don't know about.
The Doors really kind of fell apart after Morrison died, and he was the motivating force behind them. And if there's a potential claim that they ripped off folks, they may wisely not want to draw attention to themselves.
