It is really sad that pop songs are being used to sell products now instead of original jingles. I roll my eyes everytime that stupid Chips Ahoy commercial comes on. How can they be selling cookies to Rod Stewart's "Do ya think I'm sexy"? Or a minivan to Heart's "Baracutta"? There is one other really dumb one for French Fries, but I can't remember the song that's used right now.
I guess that's why I get so happy and sing that "Free Credit Report dot com - yehaw I could have seen this coming at me like an atom bomb. They monitor your credit and send you email alerts, so you don't end up selling fish to tourists in t-shirts".
I love when that commercial comes on! I guess because it is original and fun. Unlike trying to figure out how "If you want my body and you think I'm sexy" relates to cookies.

Maybe on the flipside of that, I've found lots of new tunes when they're featured on TV shows - maybe it's selling out in the other direction.
My favorite commercials are the two guys and then the married couple for Sonic - my wife just rolls her eyes.
If you think about the cookie commercial's choice of song it's kind of ironic. If you eat enough of the cookies you'll have a body that no one will think is sexy.
I'm a big fan of the "Messin' with Sasquatch" commercials. No music, but funny nonetheless.
I love those Sasquatch commercials!! They are a riot. I'm laughing at just the thought of them.
I wish I could remember the song they use for that french fry commercial as it was stupid too. I'll update my post when I see it again.
