ARRGH! Another favorite song on a commercial

Don't you just hate it when one of your favorite songs are used in a commercial? Now, I'm not talking about the ipod commercials where they use new music AS music. That's OK, I don't mind that. It may have been the first time people ever heard Jet's Are You Gonna Be My Girl , for example. Some artists are to be commended for NOT going the commercial route. I applaud Elton John for never licensing Philadelphia Freedom to Philadelphia Cream Cheese!  So I was watching TV while surfing the net the other night and one of my favorite songs came on! I looked up to see a Taco Bell Commercial.  I'm not entirely sure how I feel about them using the great Joe Jackson's One More Time to sell their fast food. At least they didn't change the lyrics to " One More Taco!"  Here's the song WITHOUT comercial message.

World's Worst iPod: Torn Between Two Lovers by Mary MacGregor
Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.
Kitty used to be a Goth--almost
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture. I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons. 1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels. 2) I used to...

World's Worst iPod: Funky Cold Medina by Tone Loc
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...
