Using Music in a Video

hey guys...

I have an documentary I am working on where people are dancing to a song that is on the radio in the background. The plans are to sell this video online as part of a larger collection of documentaries, do I need to get rights for this song that is playing or is it okay to use because it was on the radio?

What about in a situation where people are listening to a CD in the car during a conversation and talking about it? Would I need rights to that? I'm not sure where the lines are drawn on these kinds of uses but I want to make sure that we're in the clear when we're done with this thing.

Any help would be great,
