What songs do you think are too good for their subject matter, like a song for an ad that's actually good, or a children's show theme song that slaps, ect?
@RickiTarr
My favorite Beatles song, "In My Life," which I have instructed my relatives to play at my funeral, is currently being used in a really nice and touching commercial, BUT it's for Amazon!?!? Argh!!!!
@MartyCormack It's pretty far from obscure, but I have a policy of always recommending the Cash version of In My Life whenever the song is brought up. It makes it hard to believe the song was written by two guys in their mid-20s.
@RickiTarr Sigh. The Pixies song, "Where is My Mind" has been licensed like 100 times. Heard it on an airPod commercial then cried inside, bitter GenX tears.
This is going to get me in a whole load of trouble on the Fediverse but...
Delia Derbyshire - Dr Who theme
I mean no disrespect to the show or whovians, but as an artifact of electronic music, it's a work of art in its own right, rather than a sidenote on a well loved TV show
@Twoclownseating@RickiTarr I don't know why that would get you into trouble, particularly with Doctor Who fans who are likely to agree with you than anything else. I know I agree with you completely. What she created was something amazing.
