Yeah, Yeah….I get it. We’re the generation who’s got money to spend at this time in history. We’re the advertising and marketing target audience for damn near every product on the shelves. So it only makes sense that they fill their commercials with music from our past. Seems like most of the commercials I see anymore have music in them that blared through the speakers of my ’85 Chevette.
Ya know…..I always thought I missed my calling….I should’ve been in advertising or marketing.
With that thought in mind, I’ve put a list together:
First Response Home Pregnancy Test: Mamma Told Me Not to Come; Three Dog Night
Xenon HID Headlights: Blinded by the Light; Electric Light Orchestra

I could go on all night….there were 20 different songs for Viagra and Cialis alone. Hard Times by Bob Dylan was kind of a no brainer….I mean, hell…the first line in the lyrics is “Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count its many tears“.
Okay….now that your mind is racing, whatcha got?
