It's beeπ going oπ for ages πow....but it seems that wheπever I have the geπeral telly oπ, the perceπtage of classic soπgs doctored for adverts seems higher.
Sometimes it's criπgiπg...sometimes dead fuππy. I guess there's nothing wroπg with the writer makiπg a few extra bob from a three miπute soπg from their archives but sometimes it's a tad jarriπg haviπg a moustache scribbled on a Moπa Lisa.
What are your best, worst, funniest, crassest examples, fellow imdbeasties?

The original song.
Ozempic commercial.
I wonder if they intentionally named the product to fit the song.

I finally telephoned Air France back in the days before the internet was widely available to me. I recognized the singer as Hope Sandoval but knew this was not a Mazzy Star track. I was going nuts trying to find out from anyone who would listen if they knew anything about the song. I had no option but to call the airline and after talking to three different people a very nice lady informed me it was by The Chemical Brothers and called 'Asleep From Day' (with Sandoval as guest vocalist) This is what you had to do in those days just to find the name of the song, unless you were a Chemical Brothers fan. I'm breaking the House Rules here, but...it's...worth getting banned for.

Every 10 minutes, I hear Queen's "I Want it All" shilling for something on my TV (I don't know what). I guess I can't blame a band for this. It's free money. But, of all bands at this time, Queen has to be the biggest cash cow since Beatlemania. You cannot get Bohemian Rhapsody off the air and, one the band seem to sink into the dustbin of history, they get tossed back to the forefront Do they really need to milk their tunes for every last penny?

Since I last posted, I've heard a couple more. I was going to try to remember them but... This thread reminds me of one of the reasons I like Neil Young. I hope he doesn't disappoint me in the future. From "This Note's For You". Ain't singin' for Pepsi Ain't singin' for Coke I don't sing for nobody Makes me look like a joke This note's for you.

My biggest issue is when they excise lines and put lines together that don't go. It's jarring and pisses me off every time. Currently being done witb a lame version of "The Times They are A-changin', and I have no idea what the ad is for, nor do I care.

If I heard that song recently(in these youtube on your tv days) I would have definately known who it was

I don't recall the name of the drug (because I switch off these ads as fast as I can), but there's one that uses the music from the Jackson 5's "A-B-C." Do they really want to remind potential customers that Michael Jackson died as a result of a prescription drug overdose?
