Songs in advertisements is just another way to get them to the public. Sting's album Brand New Day was given a breath of life only after Sting rode in the back of a Jaguar back in 2001. Unless you can get a song heard by the masses...it won't be a hit. Its just another way for a band to get a hit single.

None of them have ever made be feel better about Allstate. Is this a seatbelt commercial song? Kiddies, wear your seatbelt or your car will probably wear you. I’ve met a couple dead drivers.

The commercial first ran after an episode of “Friday Night Lights” on NBC in late October that had a teenage driving theme." I was retorting to how it was aired initially, and then that because of this exposure people began wanting the tune. Corporate = Allstate. I know, because they are my insurance company. Great company. Just reminded of the whole Taco Bell item from a movie. Struck me as odd. Uh Moss:

All caught on film by his closest friends. Reminds me of the French Canadian Song “Héro a Zéro” from “Projet Orange”

There's no mention of any corporation, dude. What made it to the Top 100 was the song - even though it was originally used in part for a commercial. Sheesh! Uh, Dennis – watch the clip.

Sheesh!

This seems like a good opportunity to wish everyone a safe and happy New Year, and may we agree to disagree as much in 2008 as we did this year, ya freakin' nerds ;-) This song reminds me of the musical style and even the voice of Jude Cole from quite a few years back.

Either way, a plug for a Corporation is on the top ten doesn't really surprise me. Corporations run the Media, you can't copy a CD to your Hard Drive....as stated before...how much will I be charged for that tune that doesn't leave my head...?
