^^ That is simply disturbing. Makes me want to drink some whiskey or something similar.

Just heard a piano-led, instrumental version of Pixies' 'Where is my Mind'... but I don't know whose commercial it was because I only caught the tail end of it and I didn't turn around fast enough to see. Prozac maybe?

I've just seen it again a few times. It's for Microsoft. I guess Prozac was a fairly close guess.

<br>Probably for the same reason that a song about heroin (Lust For Life) is used for Carnival Cruise Lines---a catchy phrase and an upbeat sound snippet.

I'd have to say that you're right. The New Wave era yielded so many catchy melodies - many of which are embedded into the public subconscious.

The second reason of course is money. The era of big royalty checks passed years ago. Sometimes too, a commercial or TV / movie incineration will revamp a song. It's tough to make money in music now. Most songwriters will market their music any way they can.

Have any of you guys seen the new "Razor" phone commercial, where they're painting the phones in different colors, and wearing spacesuit type things? then, they walk out in regular street clothes(red shirts), and there's a sort of synthy girl song playing in the background"....let it go.... let it go".
It definitely sounds new wave-ish to me, I wish i knew who sung it.

"Keepin the '80s alive!"

'Just Can't Get Enough' for Staples-- are they really that desperate for cash or is it just Warners?
