Why are they playing all of OUR songs?!?!

[JoeyChopps]

Really? Iggy pop was never for the masses. That's my point. Who sees this comical and needs to buy that car?

 

[cheezydemon3]

Perhaps the demographic who even knows who he is is their target. Maybe their marketing guy is smoking crack.

 

[Beernik]

I have to admit, I loved The Heavy's How You Like Me Now and LMAFO's Party Rock Anthem in car commercials.

 

[TANSTAAFB]

what the commercial that has the misfits "where eagles dare"? I've seen it a few times in the past few days.

Sailor Jerry's rum...not nearly as bad as it could be. I think it's OK when the guy on the label is more punk rock than the guy singing!

Nor were Sid Vicious or Johnny Rotten but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone of that generation that is not familiar with the name.

I almost shat myself when I saw this for the first time. Was confused to hear my favorite Misfits song used for selling anything other than tickets to one of their shows...

I bet you won't see Johnny rotten trying to sell toyotas either.

I believe Shanghai Kate Hildebrandt owns the rights to Sailor Jerry's name and artwork.

Appears there is no Limit to his Public Image when it comes down to a paycheck.

You can close your mouth now JC, it's embarassing.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Lol. I am with you JC. Things in the world no longer make sense. Don't try.

At some point the world got sucked into the bad acid trip of a dead circus clown. Watched any politics lately?

Nothing makes sense anymore.

 

[JoeyChopps]

Well I'm going to go kill myself now. It was fun while it lasted.

 

[kh54s10]

Has anyone noticed how all the back-to-school ads are using songs from the late 80's and early 90's???

I just heard a recorder (flute) version of "Push it!" by Salt'n'Peppa, and that's just ONE of them...

Gawd this sucks. Loses its street cred.

MC

Who the hell are Salt'n'Peppa??? Late 80's and early 90's music is too recent and really sucked balls!!!

Literally!

It's all we watch. That's part of the problem.

 

[cheezydemon3]

I have stopped watching NEWS (which includes politics)

SO much happier!

I hear of important stuff on infernal facebook and on here.



.....AND THAT'S ALL I NEED!!!

 

[TANSTAAFB]

I quit watching the news and refuse to join facebook. Couldn't be more happy. My wife lets me know when something important is happening in the universe! I follow sports, listen to a little npr, and discover interesting stories via friends and the interwebz and don't feel I'm missing much.

 

[Homercidal]

It's not news, it's political opinion nowadays. Everyone has their spin.

And I really enjoy Push it, push it REAL GOOD!

So go take a flying leap!

 

[Airplanedoc]

Just saw it. WTF! In a Chrysler 300 of all things? If it was some wild-ass Dodge Challenger that's souped up to the gills, MAY BE, then, JUST MAY BE.

I didn't really get the commercial all that much, I guess they are trying to play on the we are from Detroit theme, since all three (very very loosely) have that in common. That is if you consider Chrysler is a Fiat (Italy) product, and the 300 is built in Brampton Ontario (Canada), and appears to have Daimler (German) styling. However I am guessing the american public will go for it. Hey at least Iggy and John Varvatos grew up in Detroit.


The sad part is I had to explain many of the other things in the commercial to a more than a few people. including 315 Bowery, iggy pop, and CBGB.
