I just heard a version of "Taxman" on an H.R. Block commercial. That's a "great" tribute to the legacy of George Harrison. One that I think is actually amusing is the NY lottery commercial with the Barenaked Ladies "If I had a million dollars" with "real" people singin over the tune.
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??
