Random Music
 

Somebody outside my window just whistled the guitar riff in "Smoke on the Water." What random incidental music have you heard today?

as i was walking down the sidewalk today, a car drove by blasting a talking head's song i hadn't heard in forever... now i can't remember which damn song it was though

it was Psycho Killer

Strong Bad Sings - Techno (the system is down)

we were all singing the techno music at work

lol, good guess, but that wasn't it. i do have the mp3 of Psycho Killer on my computer tho

whenever i remember i may post back here tho... cuz now it's starting to bug me that i can't remember the name of that damn song...

As I get older (I'm 56), I notice that merchandisers (read:hucksters) are using tunes that I remember as cutting edge rock to sell stuff that old farts use; today, I saw a Claritin commercial that used the overture from "Tommy" to sell pills. I guess this isn't exactly what this thread was directed at, but when you hear a COVER of "Thick as a Brick" used to sell cars, sompin' ain't right. And Zepplin doing "Rock and Roll" to sell Cadillacs makes me physically ill. I guess time marchs on and money talks, but it sure is a slap in the face.
BTW: I have NO intention of purchasing or using products who use this type of emotional blackmail to sell their shabby product. >rant mode OFF<
