But I will never get over the thrilling jolt of hearing The Cramps "Mama Oo Pow Pow" selling something or another (Nike?), nor The Damned doing a Miller ad (maybe the intro to their cover of Love's "Alone Again Or"?)!!! BLEW MY FREAKIN' MIND. And made my day.

And it doesn't look like either The Cramps nor the Damned have become corporate schills, bowing to The Man, man.[ Edited by: Formikahini on 2005-02-23 15:13 ]

Does anyone remember about 5 years ago Lux Interior was the spokesman for some software or computer company? I stopped dead in my tracks at a Best Buy when I saw a large, life-sized display cutout of Lux on the endcap display.

I just saw a surreal commerical with "Hootie" dressed as a country singer singing a country song for some Bacon Ranch Burger at Burger King.

Also, Marl Mothersbaugh of Devo has scored most of the Nickelodeon cartoons, and the other day I saw a show on TLC called "In-A-Fix" and Bob Mould did the title theme song.

And to all the Bill Hicks fans, they just re-issued a DVD that was only availble in the UK for years. It has the HBO special, a UK special and a Montreal Comedy Festival. If you watch it and change G Sr to GW, it could've been recorded yesterday. He was damn near prophetic! And Denis Leary owes the man's estate money for using his material...
