It generally costs between $15,000 and $60,000 to license a song for a movie, TV show, or video game. But there's one song that costs WAY more than that. It's actually THE most expensive song to license.
Â
So what is it?
It's AC/DC's "Thunderstruck".
Â
The producers of "Varsity Blues" paid $500,000 to use it, and that was all the way back in 1999. So it's possible that the price has gone way up.
Â
It must be worth it, because it's been used in tons of other movies, including "Deadpool 2", "Thor: Ragnarok", "Battleship", "Iron Man 2", "The Longest Yard", "Daddy's Home" and "Daddy's Home 2", just to name a few.
