What is the world coming to? Last night i saw a really bad cover of the Debbie Gibson song "Lost in Your Eyes" on a Best Food mayonnaise commercial. A man was painting a garage door and got stuck to it. i think he might have loved his sandwich a little too much. If you are going to defile the song, at least pay for rights to the original. i didn't recognize the song the first couple of times i saw it - pretty bad cover.
It is so hard for me to see these 80s songs defiled by crass commercialism. Good songs in bad ads. Yes, i will admit to singing along (quietly) to the music playing in Fred Meyer. Put more 2010 songs in your ads - oops i forgot how bad post 2000s music was/is.
i guess this is like what Don Henley meant when he "saw a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac. Don't look back you can never look back" ("Boys of Summer"). i didn't actually look the lyrics up, sorry if i was slightly off. A Cadillac was once considered a luxury car, seeing a hippie sticker on a luxury car must have seemed strange.
Did i ever mention that i used to have over 250 CDs? At one point i could have given you a list of all the songs on a CD in order and also knew over 70% of the lyrics. Thankfully, my memory is not quite that sharp anymore.
