Oh, it's the UPS song...

[Shearer]

This has always been a pet peeve of mine...

Yeah, it's sad that some people are only being exposed to new things through TV commercials. You'd think Audrey would be a big enough icon by now, but go figure.

It drives me batty, though, when advertisers use inappropriate songs in their commercials. The one that's always driven me over the edge is Carnival Cruise line (or whichever, I can't remember) using Iggy Pop's Lust for Life. And was it Volkswagen using Nick Drake's Pink Moon?

I always want to say to the advertisers, "I do not think this song means what you think it means!" [huh]

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Postal Service are one of my favourite bands! How dare they mar the song by using it on an advert.

That said I did discover Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart via adverts, but they were both new songs (used on an Orange advert and Cathedral Cheese ad respectively).

Ignorance is one of the worst human traits.
Ever.

Joanna Newsom was used in an advertisement? I loved her first CD, but I can't listen to it anymore because it makes me cry!

The latest ad that's bugging me is the AARP commercial where they use "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" by the Buzzcocks. It's one of my all-time favorite songs, I'm so afraid they are gonna ruin it for me!

Indeed, that one has been worrying me. It's been long enough where I expect songs from my era to have long since sold out, but AARP? Nice way to remind me that I'm old!

I like the Buzzcocks well enough that I doubt it will ruin it for me, however.

Pigeon Toe:

They used This Side of the Blue in an advert about the New York blackout.

If her first album made you cry don't buy her second album! I'm hard as nails and it broke my heart :eusa_doh:

Does UPS know it's subliminally advertising The Postal Service?

Just leave them alone. If they say it was made by the UPS, it was made by the UPS!
