I always have to chuckle when I see that commercial for a cruise ship that features "Lust For Life" by Iggy Pop & the Stooges. I'm sure the incongruity of that really appealled to his sense of the absurd. Like that scene in the Albert Brooks movie where he is lumbering down the highway in his huge RV accompanied by Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild".
Great music in bad commercials - what can you do?
I have mixed feelings about this, but I just heard a great Nico song - "these days" - used in an ad for a KMart/Disney children's clothes joint venture. God it made me pissed! I usually don't mind the songs in ads, it's alot better than radio, but I have a feeling Nico's rolling in her grave about this one. What commercial songs do you consider sacrilege??
