I get so pissed when some of favourite tunes are bastardized in commercials. Possibly I should just stop watching TV, at all. My boyfriend doesn't, and when he first told me this, I thought it was a smug, holier-than-thou, vegan thing of him to say. That may be the case, but I see the value in such a stance more and more...
Seriously, these songs like those by the Brazillian Girls, Lily Allen, and just now Peter Bjorn and John. Noooo!!! Once those songs become part of a cellphone jingle, or Axe shower gel, they suck forever. At least they do for me. They definitely lose their spot on my iPod playlists. Damn those marketers...with their devilish desire to be topical and hip. They should be relegated to the crappy seventies pop songs or something. Or better yet, make up their own crappy jingles.
Sorry. I just realized how much it bothers me. I'm becoming more like my crazy old relatives every day I think...
