Seems to be the way to make money nowadays. Look at Justin Bieber, for sh*t's sake. |

I hope he does. It would be hilarious for his million teenybopper girl fans to realize that he would never, ever want to have anything to do with them in the bedroom, and that their crushes are really one-sided. |

Welcome to Commercial Land. This is a magical place where all women look up while eating, and it is perfectly acceptable to slurp the hell out of a Dannon yogurt cup.

I think commercial and movie deals are big considerations in an artist's contract nowadays. Since few musical acts get that big anymore with records or touring, they need this sort of thing.
In fact, Weezer made a big leap when their Buddy Holly video was used by Microsoft as part of its Windows 95 CD.
I don't think Vampire Weekends minds that their song was used as it was, though. In fact, I'll bet a lotta bands purposely make songs that can be misused, and maybe seen as commercial-friendly. They've seen how Lust for Life worked out for Iggy Pop, and if there's any song that's been "re-interpreted", it's that one.
Seems the only time you hear about an artist being pissed that their song was misused, is when it's used in political campaigns. And those artists are simply big and wealthy enough to get sanctimonious about it.

I'll bet the teenybopper girls wouldn't care. I don't think their infatuation with such people is particulary sexual. I mean, look at the history of teenybopper stars. None of them came off as sex machines. Davey Jones, David Cassidy, Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, Michael Jackson. They all, in fact, came off as only nominally male---"boylike", at best. In fact, many of these stars looked more like lesbians.
Teenage males, on the other hand, always seem to go for the uber-sexual females. Cartoon sexy, like Pam Anderson, "Kelly Bundy", and Megan Fox.

Probably right, zippyjet. With the internet, their images (and stories and lovelives and favorite colors and innermost feelings and...) are so accessible, that any musical talent they may have is besides the point.

What in the ding dong dell are the words to this stupid song? This is all I get out of it:
Holiday! Oh a Holiday and the best one of the year
But if I wait for a holiday, it couldn't catch my fear.
WTF? Am I just getting to be too old to start understanding lyrics?

I read once that Chuck Berry advised Mick Jagger that part of good rock vocals is to make sure that the lyrics are not clearly understood.

Thor, we've read the same book! Mick purposely "slurs" some words. Proof:
Beast of Burden
The lyrcis DO SAY:
All this sickness I can suck it up... Bad luck, Baby, I just shrug it off.
If anyone can coherently hear that, I'll buy them a drink (I had to look up the words and I was like NO F***ING WAY!)

Ahh, yes! I think they're called "mondegreens".
Are you a big fan of the Stones, Mad?
If so, you might find this webpage interesting. It's about the making of the song Gimme Shelter. You get to hear Mick and Merry Clayton's vocals isolated from the instruments.
Oh, forget it. I see all the videos have been removed due to copyright laws.
Never mind.

Yes, Thor, I am a BIG Stones fan!
When I was in High School (1978) Keith Richards lived 3 blocks away from my friend in South Salem, NY.
It was the house that he shared with his then girlfriend, Anita Pallenberg where she was in bed with some young kid who made a big boo boo playing Russian Roulette. We were camping on an island on a lake and heard all that police activity. Freaking surreal.

The worst part of that Hilfiger commercial is that douche at the end who says "Don't you just love the holidays?" I want to smack him.

I'm still seeing this Holiday Honda crap commercial as recent as 2 days ago.
Catch the commercial early, and there's plenty time to mute the TV or change the channel before the annoying dude starts trying sing the lame song. |

You can thank Vampire Weekend for giving us this...'song,' if I can even call it that.
Because of this commercial, it wasn't the best holiday of the year. I think they've finally stopped airing it, though.

What I hate about that ad:
The stupid-ass song. Especially where he says "....and the best one of the year..." as well as the annoying "guitar playing". Or whatever that annoying repetitive grating sound is.
What I like about the ad:
The girl's awesome-cool dark blue Christmas sweater with the blinking lights.
Love that thing.

Can’t really add too much more than what everyone already said but I’m glad this commercial is getting the bashing it deserves… I don’t usually hit mute or change a channel but when this one comes on, I instantly grab the remote… I absolutely HATE this song!!! Never heard it before this commercial and hope to NEVER hear it again… Awful, simply an awful, rotten commercial... |
