RonF Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Just venting about the Mack Gordon/Harry Warren song, At Last, performed so wonderfully by Etta James, Jimmy Scott and dozens more, now destroyed in a tasteless, dry catfood commercial. Makes my blood boil. Quote
SGUD missile Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 My current favorite musical advertising rape is the one chord punk rock reworking of "Wouldn't it be Loverly" for Hampton Inn .. rates a 12 on the barf -o -meter! Quote
Alexander Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 I'm not crazy about the use of "Do You Believe in Magic" in a commerical... Quote
RDK Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 None of this stuff bothers me so long as they don't fuck up the song with new lyrics (which they sometimes do). I'd rather hear a classic song than some insipid jingle, and I'm glad to see the artist get some attention and money. Quote

I'm still trying to get over "Sunkist Vibrations" when I hear the Beach Boys' Good Vibrations... That commercial was twenty years ago... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 Hey, I haven't really cared since Revolution. The revolution's over, and we lost... Quote
Brad Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 I just hope the artists, the writers or their familes get the royalties. Quote
