Most bizarre music/commerical pairings? - Beyond Tiki

Some new songs that all the kiddies love I heven't even heard and don't care if they are used to hawk wares. I forgot all about that X Budweiser commercial. It was actually kinda cool though, cuz it was X doing the "This Bud's for You" theme and not one of their own songs. Very odd when you consider that X was never really all that big. We ran into John Doe at a pub before a show once and he definitely wasn't drinking Bud, but some other, darker beer. Let's just all pray they never use JC's "Ring of Fire" for a hemmoroid commercial, which they have already tried to do multiple times. Oh, and I meant to add: That Dylan/VS commercial was the all-time weirdest/creepiest pairing. I guess it's about that joke quote he made years ago, but how many VS shoppers would remember that? It seems advertisers are becoming so myopic that they have lost sight of the absurdidty of their own ideas.
