In the U.S. I'd look at ASCAP or BMI, Canada has SOCAN which I guess is the equivalent. These are Performance Rights Organizations which are tasked with getting the royalties to the right person, not necessarily the artist that performed the song and needs the money (but that's an entirely different issue…)
Alternately, have you considered commissioning some music in the same vein? Might be less expensive in the long run and certainly less restrictive. Or even an afternoon with Garage Band?
Good luck.

I've got an app coming close to completion (K -- 3 early childhoood education), and want to include a few snippets of tunes that were popular in the 1950's. i'm presuming that i'll be owing somebody a royalty per app, maybe even each time a tune is played in the app, but that's about all I know. Does anyone have information on this topic, ie, how to find the copyright holder of the pieces, what are typical licensing terms, etc etc. I'm in Canada if that's relevant to the discussion.
