Well, the advertising campaign might be ruining it for some...but since I'd never heard the song (or forgot it completely), it introduced a great pop tune to me. I didn't even know it was by the Kinks, though that was my first guess. And, I have to say, it's actually a pretty good set of commercials, as these things go. I'm probably now that much more likely to out and buy my first ever Kinks album (don't ask me why I haven't already!)Boy With A Problem wrote:Blue Chair wrote -This song is currently being ruined here as it's used in a non-stop advertising campaign for digital cameras or something - I hate when they do this.Picture Book - The Kinks
So, now we know at least part of the reason that songwriters allow these things to happen, assuming they still own the rights to the song.

No ideas for a Cemetary Gates follow-up...Perhaps a song BY David Gates (of Bread)....?

bobster's comment brings up an interesting point - reminds me of how a lot of people were introduced to the music of Nick Drake: VW ads.
Let's face it, while the artists are selling out, it gives songs that don't get any radioplay a lot of airtime, even if they are being used as a sell out.
Besides, I'd rather hear "Picture Book" than "Welcome To The Jungle" while I'm watching TV.

This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

but it's Hewlitt Packard - and the song isn't exactly pro-photography (maybe that's the joke - why Ray consented) - aren't people taking pictures to prove that they loved each other - and if you've got the cd with the bonus tracks - check out People Taking Pictures of Each Other..scathing....anyway I watched too much tv and it would have been ok once or twice - but it seemed like I kept getting hammered with it.Well, the advertising campaign might be ruining it for some...but since I'd never heard the song (or forgot it completely), it introduced a great pop tune to me.

Hey...I was saving this joke for an appropriate special occasion! Now, it's gone. Like Gloria Gaynor and Bob Weir said, however, I will survive.
And then you went and stole my song idea too! Damn you, BWAP! Damn you.
