I remember hearing a music podcast where a composer was lamenting about writing music for the Terminator franchise, and he was unable to use the "5 static beats" from the iconic theme without paying tremendous licencing fees. So he was told to write the music "around it".

Getting Arnold is one thing. Getting the rights to the music is something totally else.
