Wait, really?

I have grave, grave doubts about how wise it is to use Bowie's "Space Oddity" as the song for a car commercial.

It's tragic is what it is. But not quite as weird as "Lust for Life" being used as a theme for a line of cruise ships. WTF? Do their marketing people EVER listen to lyrics?

[yesido]

Ha! Apparently not! Or maybe they assume that not enough people will know them for it to matter--but I'm gonna guess for those who do, it makes a big, jarring difference.

I agree. I can't even stomach some Led Zeppelin anymore from their Cadillac commercials.

Yeah, the worst is bands that are supposed to be anti-commercial. That's just painful on so many different levels.
