So how about a list of other ads that knockoff an existing tune?

I REALLY have to ask what country you are from? This really has been going on in the United States of Americo for decades - pretty much 'standard operating practice'

This county, not originally, but since a kid. Guess I assumed the ad makers created the songs to fit their commercials most of the time. I mean, there must be a gazillion songs out there and to listen to many of them to find one to complement your product would take a very long time.
