Suggestion for "Song DLC" - Palaestinalied

[Meroveeus]

I wonder why noone suggested it yet:

But how about getting the Palestinalied (nothing to do with the current entity in the Middle East) as a downloadable Song DLC for the game? (I collect versions of that song - so best would be if Paradox is recording its own version instead of licencing one of the many published versions )

Lyrics and the melody were written in connection with the Fifth Crusade - so ingame usage would be very authentic.

Perhaps as a song especially for the HRE

If it is not going to be made available by Paradox I guess it should be very easy to mod it in after taking a quick look at the songs.txt

the issue really won't be the modding part but rather the legal right to distribute them part.
there are probably free-use recordings though...

As said preferable Paradox would do its own recording (or order to have a recording somewhere made just for the game - as opposed to licence something already recorded (as I collect versions of the song - I own e.g. that CD http://www.curzweyhl.de/releases/404-palastinalied-projekt.html )
No copyright on the original lyrics / melody as its roughly 800 years old
