Wow, that's a very nice offer. :-)

CC-BY would be my preference - we could play the attribution after the song.

It's up to you - I think it would be cool to have something that
_somehow_ relates to Wikipedia/Wikimedia.

We can play as many songs as we want on the phone system, but I would
say that any individual song should probably be longer than a minute.
