speakers speaking in code Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 so we've heard them on vw commercials and on the golf channel recently... it would interesting to see a master list of all the tv shows/commercials that have used wilco's music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdmel Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 there was a car commercial, maybe only locally, for an automaker that I cant remember off the top of my head, which used War on War, which was part of why I was confused as to the shock around the very tasteful and not worthy of a sellout label VW ads. Sorry for the long sentence, take a breath at the commas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Believe me, this territory has been covered, ad nauseam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shoesgetcold3 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Can't Stand It was in a car commercial that got heavy rotation on CNBC a couple years ago. As a financial professionals who has CNBC on all day every day, I would hear "Speakers speaking" at least 3 times a day. And to agree with the last post, I too did not understand the outcry surrounding the VW ads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gogo Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 OK people, it was a serious question. Pointing the way to other relevant threads is fine, but please, other than that, let's let it go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
embiggen Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I think White Castle should sponsor Wilco on tour. what do YOU think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Jess, you get grandfathered in because we were posting at the same time. But that's the last one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plasticeyeball Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 OK people, it was a serious question. Pointing the way to other relevant threads is fine, but please, other than that, let's let it go. Where were you when those people all made fun of me for spelling "ads" wrong?

gogo Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Probably out getting a delicious cup of hot chocolate. Ah, summer in San Francisco... There was discussion at one point of a Wilco song being used in an Illinois tourism ad, I think, but I forget what it was (and I never heard it). Does anyone remember that one? Or should I assume it's in one of the previously-linked-to threads? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 OK people, it was a serious question. Pointing the way to other relevant threads is fine, but please, other than that, let's let it go. In my fan fiction, you've had a VC Moderator Badge and ID card professionally made and you flipped open the little leather wallet holder thing as you were posting the quote above... P.S. Don't shoot, I've seen every VW ad (I think). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I think I've only ever seen the first two, and the second one I only saw on-line. And I don't have a real badge, it's only a card that I printed myself, and my mom laminated for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'm unsure if I can safely continue this witty banter without staying on topic, so I'd like to sum up with the following: I spent 20 minutes of my lunch hour today reading a Joe Strummer bio in my car because there was a guy in our break room talking so loudly I wanted to hurt him. Badly. Oh, and I drive a Jetta and I once laminated a membership card a girl in graphics made for me claiming I was the founding member of the Northern Virginia Monkey Boy Association. Good day.
