DETROIT — The producers and sponsors of the “The Pure Michigan Statewide Singalong” say they hope to resolve a copyright dispute with the creators of the platinum hit song “Good Time” on which it is based.

A copyright claim from Songs Music Publishing led YouTube on Friday to take down the popular video of a statewide sing-along shot for Michigan’s tourism promotion agency. “We don’t like it” that the video can’t be seen, said David Lorenz, spokesman for Pure Michigan, the nonprofit agency that promotes travel in the state.

The video that Pure Michigan commissioned is based on a 50-city, one-week August road trip and seeks to promote Michigan as a place to visit, live, work, and create a business.

Jeff Barrett and Rob Bliss of Grand Rapids-based Status Creative produced the video. It uses the melody and adapts the lyrics of “Good Time,” written by Brian Lee and Matthew Thiessen. Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen performed the song, which was released in June. Each scene shows people singing different verses of the song, whose lyrics say, “It’s always a good time” to be in Michigan.

Mr. Lorenz said he hopes talks between the producers and copyright holders will let Pure Michigan post the video again.
