I used to really like kesson daslef, till it was used in an advert for a cop show.
I used to really like "Put a lid on it" by the squirrel nut zippers, till it was used on that stupid fake tan advert.
Can anyone else name tracks they liked that just aren't the same once they've been used on adverts?

No, I don't think so. The artist gets royalties and the song/track gets more air time. The only thing is, it depends on what the advert is....and whether or not the artist would want the association.

Yeah i know what you mean....
But sometimes it can have the oposite effect.
Like "Teddybears STHLM - Ahead of my time" was played alot on the radio and i didn't really notice it until it was in a beer comercial togheter with some cool images.
First then i realized how fat and funky it really was.
And a levis comercial with "crosstown traffic" got me into Hendrix a long time ago.

Yeah, it's cool if it happens that way round, but if music has special meaning to you or imagery you associate with it, itcan be ruined by adverts.

nah, it doesn't bother me at all... if it's a good song, and the commercial gets it to more people, then great!!

I was all mad when Amon Tobin sold the sixth song on "Supermodified" to Coke, of all companies....but then I say, you know, if I had to sell a couple of tracks to keep myself making more (instead of wasting time at a 'everyday job), I'd probably do it too.......

For me, there was one unwanted consequence. I saw an ad for a child abuse hotline on TV. The background music was "An Ending (Ascent) from Brian Eno's Apollo. Now whenever I hear that song, I think of a sad little kid sitting on his bed crying.
I think I saw the ad on Sky 1, maybe someone else knows what I'm talking about. It might have been 2 years ago or so.

not living in england..i dont see too many tracks i like being used in ads...
and when i do i just think its kinda neat... like 4 on the anti drug ad seems kinda funny to me
sometimes ill see an ad and then start listening to the track a while later..and forget it was even in an ad...like the amon tobin track...i remeber seeing that commercial..and thinking..wow..thats a cool track...but.. its a coke commercial..
and then when i got supermodified earlier this year i completely forgot the commercial...
however...now that ive started listening to stereolab's parsec...it does vaguely remind me of vw bug commercials...
and that four tet track 'everythings alright' does kinda remind me of that nike commercial with the people jogging in the rain...im sure those associations will fade away after a while though
