Re: Pop Songs In Commercials

["Mike G" <mike_ed@msn.com>]

It is Breathe by Telepopmusik and even in my last trip to Borders, their CD 
had a sticker as featured by Mitsubishi.  Mitsubishi could have a whole CD 
by themselves of the songs they've used in the last few years incuding Bare 
Naked Ladies as well.

This whole thread reminds me of a story i had heard about 5-6 years ago.  
Eric Clapton was going through sobriety in 1988 (?) and he was at some rehab 
place in Minnesota.  One of his counsellors was there and happened to see 
his Michelob beer commercial using his own remake of " After Midnight " and 
the counsellor threw a hissy fit at Eric for allowing one of his songs to 
help profit an alcoholic company no less.  I even remember working at a 
liquor store at the time and Michelob released a tape through them with 
Clapton, Roger Daltrey, Wang Chung, Genesis amongst others.
