Who woulda thunk?

In their wildest dreams who would have thought some 20-30 years ago that Led Zeppelin would be background music for Cadillac. Or Best Buy would have the Cars.
I still chuckle when I'm in the grocery store and hear Steely Dan's Hey Nineteen in the background - ....the Quervo Gold, the fine Columbian, make tonight a wonderful thing....don't they listen to these things, or don't they get it?
Any other commercial or background music got your attention lately?

You know who started this ruining of classics - Buggs Bunny. Forever will I envision Elmer Fudd in a viking helmet when I hear Wagner. Thanks god it wasn't Mozart.

How about hearing Iggy Pop doing "Lust For Life", The Buzzcocks doing "What Do I Get", Trio doing "DA DA DA", etc... on TV commercials??? You're right, who woulda thunk it??? All of these "outsiders" have sold out to crass commercialism. Sean

PS... Actually, i'm just kidding. I'm glad to see stuff like this from bands that i loved back in my "yoot". It may help others to find some more great music from these bands / performers.

Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit! I heartily disagree - I believe that having that classical music with bugs bunny introduced a whole generation to classical music. Remember the Rabbit of Seville?
