Music is my Imaginary Friend.

I made a comment the other day in Male company about how a meeting for something or other wouldn't work for me during the day, because it interfered with my "stories". While inspecting my couch last week I got involved with a "story" that came on at the end of a soccer game. I am not sure as to what is really going on, because it's all in Spanish. All I know this overly made up lady is pissed about something, and the dude just sits and takes it...wiener. ANYWAY, because I am impatient, I flip from show to show during the commercials. I think that it's gotten bad recently since I saw this TERRIBLE commercial involving jeans and one of the best songs in the world. Exhibit A

This is a Youtube Video of the lamest commercial of two drunkards and in the back ground is Isobel Campell's sweet voice from the album Ballad of Broken Seas. It made me mad that they tainted such a sweet song with the white trashness . I thought to myself, how interesting that they used the EXACT song that was listening to in the car not more then two hours ago. Soon afterwards... I heard this little ditty.

Exhibit B


Nothing to me is more comedy gold then Monkeys and Cavemen so I giggled upon seeing this commercial, but to my surprise...I started singing along. Wha Wha Wha??? How did I know this song? Well this was from the much anticipated sophomore album of The Sounds. In my mommy-less days I bought this album as a birthday gift to myself...because that was the day it came out. I was much less disappointed with the commercial, but at this point what was ANOTHER happy coincidence started to make me wonder. I became a bit more freaked out with the following spin...

Exhibit C

This band, 1990's was a lucky find. I enjoyed this song so much that I put it on my Ipod. My first born loved it so much that she stole my Ipod and listened to it over and over again. This song inspired this post. How who ever is in charge of finding music for these Adverts MUST be raiding my sweet collection of random songs of little know artist and my sacred collection of CD's. At first it was kind of interesting but now it's turning personal. SOMEBODY is using MY music to sell some poor schmo cheep shoes and car insurance!

Exhibit D

Not that you would know what this was but THIS is a Jaguar commercial with the song from a band called the Dimond Knights. I think I am making my point. I think that there is some music that screams "Oh I am ready to sell cheap crap to some sucker." That song is Smash Mouth's "All Star".


I plead with the people who are rapping my CD collection for these crappy advertisements...Please leave my music alone. I love each song almost as much as I love my swear words or middle finger. For those of you who are interested in these songs listed here, or other songs that are used to sell you things see my play list.
