Saw a commercial for Marshall's dept store, and the voiceover sure sounded like it was by Annalisa -- first time I've heard a KFOGger on a spot since Renee voiced that Chevron car some years back.

I've been thinking that myself for awhile now--it doesn't sound exactly like her radio voice, but it's too close to be someone else.

meant to mention this the other day: I've seen that Heineken commercial featuring Li'l Jon several times now, and really, once you've been mercilessly satirized by Dave Chapelle, shouldn't your career be over?  Or at least your credibility?

Lil Jon, like malt liquor, transcends "credibility."  He just gets a job done.

Comcast just added Sacramento's Channel 50 to the SF lineup -- Why?. But it means extra opportunities to see Ebert & Roeper.  

So I'm watching the show (Kevin Smith subbing for Ebert!), tons of cheezy local Sac'to commercials, and there's a commercial for "G & S Auto Body", and the guy doing the voiceover is the same guy who does the voice on those "Professional Auto Body" spots on KBCO! Same line about "shmooshing your car" and everything. Small world.

Of particular interest to Urth: vintage Nuggets track "You're Gonna Miss Me" by the 13th Floor Elevators is flogging Dell computers. Roky Ericson's retirement fund just got a lot bigger.

Much needed.  I remember conducting an interview with Henry Rollins in summer 2001 in which he told of how he was staging some benefit concerts for Roky; and he's continued to do such work in the years since.  "Roky needs teeth," Hank explained then.

Now THERE'S a name for a band: Roky Needs Teeth.

BAHAHAHA!  In the novel I'm pretending I'm writing, I have a band called Lou Reed's Mullet.  Maybe Roky Needs Teeth should be on the same label.

The Dandy Warhols' "Bohemian Like You" is now a Chevy commercial.  Watching the A's Pregame and I've seen it 3 times already!

just heard "All You Need is Love" (not the Beatles) used in an ad for Chase credit cards.
 :cry:
That one's been around for a while. And BTW, we have a separate thread for songs in commercials :wink:
I can't find it!
This one:
http://10at10club.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=902
That's not a thread about real commercials, but hypothetical commercials!
It started out that way, but trust me, that premise only lasted for a couple of posts and it soon became the "Songs in Commercials" thread.
Well, I used my janitorial prerogative to slightly alter the name of this thread!

Have y'all seen Audrey Hepburn dancing to AC/DC (!) in that GAP ad?

Brilliant? Sacrilige? Both?

It sure is brilliantly put together.  I just have issues with dead people advetising companies that didn't even exist when they were alive & well.

1) what sounds like T.Rex for Coke.

2) Chase is using the Stones' orig version of "I'm Free".

3) Donovan's "Happiness Runs (in a Circular Motion)" is flogging Fruity Cheerios -- Cheerios' answer to Froot Loops.
