The Doobie Brothers aren’t happy that Bill Murray is using their song to sell ‘ugly’ golf shirts

In a Wednesday letter to Murray and William Murray Golf — owned by the actor and his brothers — the band’s legal professional, Peter Paterno, accused the corporation and the actor of using the band’s tune “Hear to the New music” in commercials for the firm’s “Zero Hucks Supplied” golf shirts.

“Having said that, offered that you have not paid to use it, maybe you ought to adjust the corporation identify to ‘Zero Bucks Supplied,'” the letter reads.

The letter goes on to cite the US Copyright Act, and says Murray ought to “presently know you won’t be able to use music in adverts without having to pay for it.”

It concludes with: “We might pretty much be Alright with it if the shirts were not so damn ugly. But it is what it is. So in the immortal terms of Jean Paul Sartre, ‘Au revoir Golfer. Et payez!'”

Monthly bill Murray’s reps have not still returned CNN’s request for remark.

Murray and his brothers released their corporation in 2017. According to the firm’s internet web site, the six brothers all grew up caddying and taking part in golf in the northern suburbs of Chicago and were inducted into the Caddie Hall of Fame in 2015.

“William Murray Golf was made on the idea that life and golf you should not have to be so major. Keep it light-weight, have pleasurable, and carry personality on to the study course,” in accordance to the firm’s internet site.

Monthly bill Murray famously played a deranged golf study course groundskeeper in the 1980 film, “Caddyshack,” that was co-prepared by his brother, Brian.
