Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Up with the sun

Article about bands that won't allow music to be used for ads. it's from 2002- have any of the artists named in it changed their minds since?

Though this passage:

R.E.M. The jangly strains of the seminal '90s alt-rock band have become so well known, they're instantly recognizable: Think It's the "End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" and "Losing My Religion". Advertisers could have a field day with R.E.M.'s repertoire. Stick "Everybody Hurts" on an aspirin commercial. "One I Love" is perfect for a Hallmark Valentine's Day campaign.

(emphasis mine)

Makes me wonder if the writer could find irony in a dictionary.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I always wanted Budwiser to use Oingo Boingo's "No Spill Blood" for a commercial.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

U Got the Look.

"I stand corrected" is what triggered it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Did anyone see the Ben Stiller Show parody of "One" being used to sell breakfast cereal? Ben does a fine, fine Bono.

I think it was even Lucky Charms. He did have a good early 90s Bono.

And the manager from the Partridge Family was their manager, I think.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"One I Love" is perfect for a Hallmark Valentine's Day campaign.

"Hi honey, you're a simple prop to occupy my mind. Happy Valentine's Day!"

Lucky Clovers specifically. It's truly, truly beautiful.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

"Come Sail Away" (how apropos!) was the big spotlight dance in "The Virgin Suicides" and "Freaks and Geeks".

I remember an essay (or maybe it was a MBTV review) about the use of "Come Sail Away" in Freaks & Geeks -- how it seems like a slow song but suddenly rawks in a pretty annoying way. Anyway, I'm going to have to dig my F&G dvds out & watch 'em again now, y'know.

If rocking when the aliens come is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

But Neil Young didn't start rocking when the aliens came in "After the Gold Rush"!
