I'm enjoying Honda's "Respect the Van" campaign, designed to elevate the minivan from neutered suburbanity.
Featuring Heart's "Barracuda" and airbrushed iconery from the "van age" animated and smiling down upon "the product".

Can you dig it? I knew that you could!

Or the jingle that became a hit:

I got curious and googled "you deserve a break today" and found that Sidney E Woloshn co wrote it. I ran into some fastinating sites doing this search. Hmm, I think I'll run out and get me a 1/4 pounder and fries.

You're right. I should have said "wrote and/or sang." He includes it in his medley, but only because he sang the original spot.

I like that cool band of cool guys that sit around in the cool garage and play that song.

Looks like they've had some Viagra...

...and they're pretty smug about whatever it is they've been up to.

The theme "you deserve a break today" was written by my teacher at Berkley school of music in Boston. Tony Texteria.

I remember when some anarchistic sorts would hurl bricks through the plate glass windows of the local McDonalds, with the message "you deserve a brick today" tied around w/ string...

But who can forget this moment in ad-dled thinking?
"Cold Water For 'Ring Of Fire' Ad
Cash Family Blocks Bid To Use Song In Hemorrhoid-Relief Spot"
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/02/17/entertainment/main 600686.shtml

"We would never allow the song to be demeaned like that," Cash's daughter, Rosanne, told the Tennessean of Nashville, Tenn.

That's my girl! (Recovering from surgery now).

Amen to that. WTF idiot would take a song about personal angst and try to make it about an itchy asshole?

The commercial that is bugging me right not is the one where they take the song "we two" by either the Turtles or 10CC and then play an unmemorable jazz scat over its intro by an unknown happy jazz wannabe singer.
It is for Johnny Walker.
