"thankyou for flying the mcdonald's poundsaver menu" anyone else seen this ad? doesn't the music sound like an approximation of daft punk's "around the world"? the visuals even seem to be apeing michel gondry's video for the track. its not the only one either. there seems to be increasing numbers of commercials which loosely recreate music one can only assume they were refused permission to use by the artists. im sure theres a shampoo ad which replicates a herbert track. there used to be one which sounded like an mj cole track. and im some ad from the last 18 months sounded like a bad cover of an aphex twin tune. anyone else noticed these? on a slightly different tangent, channel4 keeps using plaid tunes from the not for fours lp as backing music during its little intermission clips featuring various presenters talking about nothing in particular. |

I know exactly what you mean. Although I forget the ad, I particularly hated the rip of James Brown's 'I Feel Good', a song that is totally inimitable without James Brown. Those bastards. |

"there seems to be increasing numbers of commercials which loosely recreate music one can only assume they were refused permission to use by the artists" yeah happens a lot. also in tv programs. if you've seen phoenix nights for example, most of the songs are actually cover versions done as near to the original as possible. also note music has been used without permission and then been withdrawn. recently, muse - feeling good was used for a product (i forget which), they complained and it was changed to a (very similar) cover version in the same style. |

probably cheaper to copy a song and remind people of the song you originally wanted, then actually pay to use the original song... |

funkmaster : naturally/obviously. mappatazee : we have those too, this one seems fairly new, but still uses the 'im loving it' thing at the end. |

shouldn't it be illegal to copy an artist if they already refused to let their music be used in the ad? Unless these covers vary widely from the original, I would think it would be some kind of plagiarism/copyright infringment... |

i guess its because they're just different enough to get away with it. |

|
|
exactly! It`s like a bad cover and its illegal to create that kind of track without a permission from an original artist. |

they do it alot in icelandic commercial. it bothers me immensly. they make their cover version of known song's from artists like badly drawn boy and chemical brothers. they just slightly change them so they don't have to pay any $$$ to the artists/record company. i think it's a big rip-off and should be illegal. |

I always hear music in commercials here that reminds me so much of certain other songs... it's crazy! |

Man I had no idea how widespread this is.. I don't see it much in the states except for like classic rock songs or even older, so I don't really care much. But if I heard plaid/afx/boc/etc being ripped off it would make me angry.. solution: make it illegal no matter what genre/artist. ;) |
