Another Musical Abomination
As readers here know, I hate it when songs from my musical history, especially songs from the past I enjoyed and were from my early punk/new wave days, get used and abused in commercials.
The latest one to make me cringe is the local automobile dealership (I'll be damned if I can remember its name) that is using the old new wave classic from the 1970s, "Driver's Seat" by Sniff 'n' the Tears. This prostituting of a good song from my past has me wearing my thinking cap for an award to devise to reward this yeoman's work in crapitude.

Yeah... Don't know the song, but I share your pet peeve.
I still can't hear "Lust for Life" without having visions of Fred Grandy and Gavin McLeod grinding on Julie the cruise director on the dance floor.
That may be the worst commercial memory of "Lust for Life," but I am getting nervous about how many different companies are and will use that song in an advertisement.
And thanks for planting that lovely picture of a "Love Boat" three-way in my head, Prego.
