Advert Music
thehoopiestfrood:
Some TV programme has Na Na Na Na Naa by the Kaiser Chiefs on an advert which confuses me for some reason, though I can't remember which programme.
The one which for some reason shocks me every time is the Pixies' Velouria on the Wanadoo broadband advert, but it does actually go well with the footage of the bikes flying downhill. It's just strange, and I'm not sure why.
Muse got some good money of Nestle when they used Feeling Good for a coffee ad without permission and Muse sued, but all the Nestle did was get someone else to record a version of the Muse version which sounded oh so similar.

--- Quote from: a pack of wolves ---Le Tigre were in an advert? Okay, that confirms it, Kathleen Hanna has sold out. I don't normally chuck that accusation around, but that crosses the fucking line. Damn, she used to be so cool just a few years ago but now she's just lost it completely.

I agree, I get really wound uo when people go 'bah, sell out' at everyone and everything, but in the case of Le Tigre, they preached their ideals so vehemently that you'd kind of expect them to adhere to them.
Still, they make damn good songs, so I can't resent them that.

Yeah, I liked 'This Island' a lot even though it wasn't as good as 'Feminist Sweepstakes'. I didn't mind that they'd moved to a major, although I thought their argument that it was because they wanted to get their message out to more people was pretty weak when it was by far their least political album. But adverts? Hanna always used to talk about how feminism was meaningless to her when you didn't connect it to things like anti-capitalism. Looks like that's gone out the window in favour of more cash.

Bastards. But that's the way to do it. Being a bastard myself I recommend it.

Isn't their song in the movie promo for the new Jet Li flick?
