...based on my latest pet peeve. What beloved song has been co-opted into a TV commercial? For some God forsaken reason, Chris Isaak's Wicked Game has become the spokes-tune for Oikos Yogurt. Considering it was featured in the David Lynch movie, Wild at Heart, it seems like a complete non sequitur. There's also a Raisin Bran commercial that has an instrumental Werewolves of London playing in the background. I'm guessing you've got a nominee or two.
Oy do I agree!
I agree, I agree!
If you read any of my diaries you know that one of my favorite groups of all time are the Pet Shop Boys.
The adfolk took a great song and ruined it for all personkind.
If you watch any modern tv with commercials what do you think of when you hear an otherwise great song from the Pet Shop Boys?
Has been co-opted by a horrid, evil commercial….think Allstate and evil hood ornament.
How about you? Did/do you have a song that you really like that now has been co-opted for all time by commercialism?
