Indeed, you'd have to have the permission of both the songwriter and the group that recorded it to use a piece in your animation, at least under US copyright law. As for Israeli copyright law, I don't know. (I'd contact FIRST to see if they can clarify which one you should follow.)
Of course, there is always rolling your own. There's plenty of ways to get music you have permission to use. There's several sites devoted to posting music licensed under Creative Commons licenses of various sorts, and you can also roll your own using software like Apple's GarageBand. (I've done that personally for my radio show--it's not that difficult.)
