Do Commercials Ruin A Good Song?

I went through search and didn't find a topic like this, so if there is one I'm sorry.

Do you think commercials that use a bands music can ruin that song for you. I'm not going to get into the whole "commercialism sell-out" thing. I'm talking about when you see a commercial and it has a song that you like, does the product it's trying to sell deter you from liking that song like you use to?

I didn't think it would for me. Then Cadillac started using one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs in their commercials. I still like the song, but now every time I hear it I yell out "The Cadillac Song". They took a kick ass song and turned it into something that makes me think of crappy cars. Which, I guess, accomplices what they set out to do. I would like your opinons on this.

Yeah I hear yah. Everyone has been using Moby's 'Porceline' which pisses me off because Liked that song before it got popular....now I can't listen to it withoput thinking about either the movie 'The Beach' or some car....

I don't think music can be 'ruined'

Yeah-
commercials do ruin some great songs.-
Like the overture to Tommy in the allery medicine commercial???

Sure, it may be shitty to hear your favorite songs in commercials, but I don't think it ruins it.

Man...Townsend must be desperate for dough.......

I sometimes like to hear songs I dig in commercials. I pay more attention to the song than the product its supposed to sell, and it makes me happy to be flipping through channels and hear a song I dig. It makes me smile.

There was a Mogwai track not too long ago in a Levi Jeans spot. It made me smile.

Right. You can be disappointed, as Shane pointed out, but the music you love is still there.

It's funny sometimes you watch a very interesting commercial, and you remember it all, and it was very funny and interesting...but you don't remember what they are advertising! LoL.

'Omigod that was so witty and clever that I am unable to resist the urge to purchase a case of Budweiser!'

I just bought a box of Tampax. With wings!

They're quite comfy actually.

Thank gawd Radiohead has never been used in a comercidal...

Cheese, they don't put wings on tampons. That would be silly.

Then how do they fly?
