Songs Ruined By Advertising

[DroopStDanny]

It would take less time to name songs not ruined by advertising.

Levi's did a good series of ads in the 80's. This probably the most well known of them.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Anything and anyone associated in any way whatsoever with the "down down, prices are down" corporation.

Any song that's ever been improved by being in an ad?

 

[DEVO]

Any song that's ever been improved by being in an ad?

That list would be as small as mine. Nil.

That list would be as small as mine. Nil.

It would have to be the ultimate sell out wouldn't it?

Random rock star "I have nothing creative left, (calls manager) hey start selling my songs for ads"

Haven't heard from Ween for a while, what are they doing now.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

I used to like this song until i heard the garnier fructis ad using the song.

I thought it was NIB that only used it.

Jeep's use of The Potbelleez - Don't Hold Back. (Was decent-ish before that.)

Reunited and touring. No signs of Australian tour yet or new material.

This is their attempt at selling out.

Hahaha I heard about this for the first time on a podcast last week.

Yeah I think only Mickey and Aaron know the truth but apparently Pizza Hut paid them up front so they did "Where'd the cheese go?" Pizza Hut hated it so they made it "Where'd the mother ****en cheese go at?"

If that's the way your favourite band sell out I fully support it.

Port Adelaide have ruined "Never Tear Us Apart".

Kia didn't ruin Grandmaster Flash - just introduced them to a new audience.

This ad was the catalyst for me liking this song.

 

[Cleavy]

(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay, from that Nescafe ad

bloody twat!

Levi's did a good series of ads in the 80's. This probably the most well known of them.

And then they came back in the 90's to have another crack at it.

 

[Noel Gallagher]

Effing Good guys commercial totally bastardising one of the greatest songs ever - good vibrations, make me physically ill every time I hear it. Murray Wilson has a lot to answer for......

 

[dumb]

can't recall which make, there's a car ad that completely butchers creedence's down on the corner. changes the lyrics and everything to being a soccer mum or some s**t.
car ads are now stuck in the same rut as food preparation utensil advertising - they have to sell 2 things at once.
have to make low fat food - have to show how amazing your life will be with this car. consequently great music is constantly getting chewed up and spat out to sell some of their own units. dandy warhols have been repeat victims.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

On a positive matter Dumb, it introduces one to songs they've never heard of.

Toyota Kluger, thankfully no one recorded it and put it on YouTube, so it'll hopefully vanish from my memory one day.

Including changed lyrics:

That has got to be top of the list. Nothing comes close for me.

The original was just awesome. I have the single!

 

[the fly]

Did somebody mention car ads?

Even if the a jeep was the exact car I was looking to purchase I refuse to buy one purely because of these ads.
