I'm at the point of beyond caring. If they're gonna use a song or a ripoff of a song for a commercial fine, whatever. I'm more concerned about the creation of a sh*tfest song such as "Good Goes Around" made for Cheerios coming on the scene!

I still don't get why Raisin Bran Crunch was using "Werewolves of London," or why Bud Light was using a piano version of "Sweet Child o' Mine."

While we are on the subject....
On second thought, this one is so bad it's earned it's own thread! |

New one for Xeljanz I JUST saw about 30 min ago. Same BS script, female narrator babbling about the "bloody stools" and other nonsense.
Removed that piano music and replaced it with an instrumental version of the 70s song "Dance With Me" by Orleans. |

That one is beyond offensive! Yeah, that was kind of a catchy one hit wonder from them in the 80s. I swear I think these companies will take older songs especially from the 70s-80s and try to make it their own. So when these teens, 20something'ers that NEVER heard the original, they think the brand name came up with these songs.
Latest one from Toyota, they take a song from 1988, 89, Roxette "The Look" and use it for some Camry ad. (By the way, all these Camry drivers are reckless a-holes in these ads) Comments on YouTube, you can tell some love the song and THANK Toyota for creating great music. Personally I think the song sucked in the 80s, it' sucks in 2017 |

A.38 Special B.Glass Tiger C. Outfield? pretty unlikely corporate 'rock muzak' blows..its been replaced by corporate BRO rock or C-Rap (commercial rap) much of this is used to fuel car ads and/or breakfast cereals or CANDY--Chahncey the Crapper, anyone? |

John Deacon (whom i would recognize as he cues up for his plate at the sr. center)wisely retired about 20 odd years ago..admittedly, that Lambert kid from American idol is PERFECT for neo-Queen but lacks Mercurys creativity.. and OVERBITE |

Oh my God! Human by The Human League! That for a long time was my FAVORITE song in the whole world! Then an 80's music station kept constantly playing it and it stopped being my favorite song in the world! Damn you 80's music station! I still love Human song though. It's haunting, beautiful, and chilling song! Its ethereal! |

My name is Donathan, pronounced the same way you pronounce Jonathan, except with a D.😀 Hitting on a Lesbian who speaks to you and about you like trash means you're REALLY desperate! 😀

There's no need for any neo-Queen. Their time came and went in the 70s. As far as I'm concerned, they were done by the mid-70s. |

"Chahncey the Crapper" ... I wholeheartedly agree. If ... if ... they still have mullets today, I think I could remember some of the faces of these bands, thanks to countless hours of me watching MTV in the mid-80's. I heard the lead singer of Glass Tiger had a stroke recently or something. |

While we're on the subject of bad "music" in commercials....
In answer to the Spice Girls' question on their hit song "Wannabe", "So tell me what you want, what you really really want." I WANT YOU TO SHUT THE f**k UP! |

The late 90s was the worst decade for popular music! There was some music that was decent but you had to look long and hard for it! I'd rather listen to a full on barrage of 80s music than hear a popular 90s hit!

I am right there with you! It's Day-2 and this "song" is still stuck in my head. And now having thought it about it, I'm certain that it ranks in the Top-5 worst "songs" of all time! "So tell me what you hate, what you really really hate." God, who comes up with this CRAP?! I just want to beat the sh*t out of something. Or put that bimbo in a spice grinder. ("How 'bout that you stupid stupid twit?") I need therapy. (Or a remote with nothing but "mute" switches.) |

Milennials gravitate to such sh*t as pussy cats eat their hurl! Yea, yea, year, Latrell you the bomb croaking out that Cheerios drivel. But back to the thread at hand. You want weapons of mass destruction? Broadway show tunes are a fertile ground/resource of such torture. and the adtards love it. There are so many of them besides the Wash that sh*t out of my hair: Some that come to mind: 1. Who can ask for anything more-Toyota (back in the day) Has to be one of the Gayest cheesiest commercial and its from the 80's. Millennial folk you'll probably climax when you watch this one! Though it's not a show tune. The Adtards strip mine this one from Harry Belafonte. including Ford for their latest SUV lemon-mobile. Way back P&G used the song not the original Belafonte version to hawk laundry soap or lard oil.

I did change the shower head in the master bathroom when we moved in here. I don't need any of the fancy shower water antics. |
