Shoot me now.

I just saw a commercial for E-trade. What made me suicidal was the music used:

Jefferson AĆ­rplane - Volunteers

So not clear on the concept here. . .

How about the Wrangler ads using CCR's Fortunate Son? There's someone who obviously never listened to the lyrics.

I saw a GM sale campaign that used "Big Time" by Peter Gabriel.

How about "Dream On" in car ads? I always thought that song was about aging, depression and death. Aerosmith must be laughing all the way to the bank.

And DO NOT get me started on "Across The Universe" in Kodak commercials. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! My heart aches for the pillaging of John Lennon's music.
