Tony Khan Details How He Licensed Pixies For Orange Cassidy’s New Theme
All Elite Wrestling’s Orange Cassidy debuted a brand new theme song during the latest episode of AEW Dark. The song – “Where is My Mind?” by the iconic Pixies – had to be licensed, and speaking to Pitchfork, AEW’s Tony Khan explained how that process went down.
“A few weeks ago, I played it for him, he said he loved it. I asked if he wanted to me to try to license it, he gave me his ‘thumbs up,’” Khan said when asked about the song. “I signed a multiyear agreement to use the song, and every use of the song in AEW will live in our content library forever in perpetuity.”
The new song comes after Khan already clarified on social media that he tried to license Jefferson Starship’s “Jane” for a year and a half, but that he never received any answers regarding it. Thankfully for Cassidy, Khan was able to reach Pixies regarding their song, and the band was nice enough to allow the company to use it.
