Then again, many artists sell the rights to their songs and then are paid or are unlucky and don't get anything if they signed a bad contract.
Just to clarify, she is indeed singing the song. She made a "cover" of the Frankie Goes to Hollywood song and the payoff might not be as big as you think. Using a song for commercial purposes (and Internet too) isn't that big of a payoff and the artist doesn't always get the money depending upon how the contract was written and it would go to the people credited with writing the song, Peter Gill, Holly Johnson & Mark O'Toole.

However, they hopefully are enjoying a nice little bump and people will get to know their music once again.
