Sharon asks…
Where do you stand about rock songs used for TV Commercials?
This has been discussed before, but I’m not sure in how long. I figured I’d ask this current wave of users.
It’s a couple of questions-
1) the one in the title-
2) Most of the songs used are older ones from the 60s- 80s. (*lots* of 70s I noticed)
This latest Walmart one really annoys me:

There’s another for 21st Century Insurance that uses this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B2clFsLA3w
The question is- if you’re not a classic rock fan, (& that’s ok!) how do you think you’d feel if in 20 years, your favorite *current* bands‘ songs were used in tv ads?
As for me- it mostly bugs me. I think it kinda takes away from the power & legacy of the songs. Sorta cheapens them, imo.
On the other hand, I realize that in many cases, the artists themselves are the ones who handed over the songs to use & probably could use the $$. I can sort of understand that w/ artists who didn’t reach the heights of say, guys like Zeppelin or The Beatles.
But when I see Target using “Hello/Goodbye” & Cadillac using “Rock & Roll”, hmm…no real excuse for it I think.
For the record, the thumbs down aren’t from me.
Nicky & Melissa- we’re eye to eye on it
Nowhere man- I clearly remember when that ad came out the backlash from Beatle fans. It was the very 1st time (least to my knowledge) a *Beatle* song was used that way. That one really burned me up too.
artifacts- Great call. I forgot about that one. That one is a example where I’d *love* to see the bank accounts of the band (Player in that case) during their heyday.
artifacts- & yeah original jingles seem dead now. Guess it’s mostly an outdated thing today, which is sad. You think back to old commercials w/ memorable jingles & they bring back fun memories.
When our endeared *songs* are used, the memories get distorted.
1:Day’ – Interesting perspective.
Jimmy- I loved Flea’s quote! It *is* weird* how the tables have turned on the idea of it. That’s why I’m Real curious to know how today’s young people would feel down road if/when *their* songs are used this way.
Someone said as long as the product fits the song. I just don’t see how “We Will Rock You” ties in with Walmart. That one is just plain wrong to me.
admin answers:
I can no longer listen to She Works Hard For The Money – Donna Summer without thinking of McDonald’s. I think they used that song back in the 80s and McDonald’s has gone through multiple ad campaigns since, but I still can’t shake it. Chalk one up to the marketers.
Anyways, Flea had this to say about things:
“The Chili Peppers get offers all the time to sell songs for commercials and tour sponsorships, and our manager says it’s not considered selling out anymore. It’s the smart move, he says. Maybe we could whore ourselves out for the right price someday. I don’t know. But I always think, “Would Neil Young do this?” And the answer is no. Neil Young wouldn’t f*ckin’ do it.”
That’s how I feel. It’s become acceptable but I’m still not happy about it.
Jenny asks…
Is anyone else freaks with your friend like this?
Ok so my friend and I are completely opposite…like she is more emoish and i am more good girl, she listens to loud screaming music and goes to the local bands concerts ever weekend and i listen to country and watch a movie with my family.
So as you can tell we are a bit different. But when we are together we cant stop laughing and we just have an amazing time, normally we will go hang at walmart and are just really annoying. Like we get slushies and make really annoying sounds with the straws through the whole store and piss people off, and we pretty much follow people through the store and just creep people out, and then when we leave we will normally stalk someone else who is leaving and going the same direction as us until they turn of the highway. So does anyone else have friendships like this?
admin answers:
Ahaha thats cute. And it really shouldnt matter if your different, you guys seem like you really get along 
keep having fun.
The best memories come from having friends like that.
Thomas asks…
Rubber watchband giving me fungal infection… solutions?
I’ve worn a watch for many years, usually with a rubber band. Recently I developed a red sometimes itchy rash that my dermatologist diagnosed as a fungal infection. I left the watch off for a couple weeks and used a halobetasol propionate ointment (0.05%). The infection seemed to clear up completely and I began wearing the watch again. Sure enough the infection has returned.
I don’t wear the watch tightly at all. It’s just a cheap plastic Casio I got from Walmart. I really like having a watch, maybe I need to clean the band? Stay on the ointment longer? I have about 3/4th the tube left.
admin answers:
You probably need to clean the band on a timely bases. The rubber can get gunky with your old sweat and skin cells. Take a alcohol wipe and rub it down once a week or so and see if that helps. If it doesn’t, then you might have to switch types of bands. I can’t wear metal ones and my dad had to wear the type that keeps the watch body off the skin..he would stop a watch every time it came into contact with his arm! Use the lotion till the rash disappears, clean the watch band and then see what happens. If you have any skin cleaning products like Sea Breeze, that will work.
