Sir Stewart Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 One of the oddest choices and usages for a song in a commercial ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I want to murder that commercial.Me too. I don't mind the song, but the way they re-recorded it for the commercial sucks balls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Me too. They were at the top of their game then. That next LP (the one with "Secret Separation") wasn't quite as good, and then I lost track of them after that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poppydawn Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I had such a crush on Cy. That commercial and the horrible song remake drive me batshit. They sucked all the creepy out of the song. Or maybe I'm just pissed off that I'm in the age bracket where songs I loved 25 years ago are being used to sell sensible cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
