I thought that was very ironic and funny. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-ecto@smoe.org [mailto:owner-ecto@smoe.org] On Behalf Of bill Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2005 12:29 PM To: ecto@smoe.org Subject: Re: grossly misused songs I believe that it is the cialis commercials that feature the the's "this is the day". I've always felt that the song was not upbeat but rather more despondent. That is to say that the protaganist's life was not going to change for the better on that day or on any other for that matter I would like to point out that as much as the use of some of these songs in commercials may sometimes be annoying they also represent exposure for the artists and songs and, I would hope, royalties for the artists One has to wonder whether or not Nick Drake might be making more money today then he ever did when he was alive if not for his untimely demise. This, of course, is hardly a new concept. It's often be said that death is a great career move for an artist. Heck, Hotblack Desiato spent a whole year dead (for tax reasons). One final note. There are actually cd compilations of this stuff. Most notably "as seen on tv" which opens with "pink moon". nr- Douglas Adams: Mostly Harmless np- Patty Larkin: Regrooving the Dream ( is it just me or does she just keep getting better with every release?) ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V11 #111 ***************************
