Q: Sound Licensing

I was wondering if the Mac Startup sounds and Siri voice could be licensed for use in a song? Because I used both in my song and wanted to clear it with apple before any release. For review here's the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Keem_yJ_rQc

    "Used" as in past tense? I think you are asking permission after the fact. No one is going to give you any legal advice here. Maybe just try to find a sound that is similar to and reminds one of the startup sound. For the voice, get someone to pretend to be Siri and try to use a computerized intonation.
