Obviously, the author no doubt provided the content gratis, so I assume
there's limited opportunity to ask for more.
That said, if there were options, I'd be interested in the non reversed
song, pitched to be more upbeat.
I don't know that I have a poor reaction to the bumper, but I think
there are a ton of people who know the first few bars of Bicycle Built
for Two from 2001, and making it instantly recognizable (or at least
recognizeable once people know the backstory) is educational. Reversed
doesn't offer that same additional benefit.
I agree the tune is public domain and I'd argue even the 7094 recitation
of it should be. Even if not, using a few bars can be claimed under
fair use.
I offer the points above as my only ability to contribute. I'm not
graphical, creative, or musical, so my hat is off to the original author
for even offering this option.
