More and more advertisement companies are using popular music/songs to hawk their clients products and the commercial jingle is pretty much non-existant. Cool or not cool?
Does it ruin it for you when you hear a song you like being played on a lame commercial for butter, a cleaning supply, or tampons?
Is it ok as long as the product being advertised is something like a truck, an ipod, cell phone, or pizza?
Do I have too much time on my hands?
What Do You Think About The Trend Of Popular Music Being Used In Ads And The Decline Of The Commercial Jingle?

Hearing songs from when you were a kid on commercials means you are old.
Sometimes, it’s obvious that the tune is being used to sell to a specific age group. That is both lame and tacky.
It does not ruin the song: I have been reminded of a few forgotten tunes by catching a bit on a commercial.
It’s not always ok: Led Zeppelin on the cadillac commercial is inappropriate, lame, and just stupid.
I love the Harley commercial with Guns and Roses “Paradise City.” That commercial is more than appropriate, it goes well with some very cool memories of a great period of my life, and always makes me smile because of it.
