The new Wendy's Commercial...

[Pussy*Kat]

Adding rave music to your commercial will not make me eat at your resturaunt.....!

Benny Benassi....poor guy
a certain amount richer....but i still feel bad for that song.......

[justShell]

lol... i saw this commercial at least 10 times last night when i was watching tv. i mean. i kind of liked that song. kind of. wtf is up with that??? it tripped me out at first cause i thought it was playing on my computer then i realized it was coming from the tv.

[Drazkers]

The first time i saw it i was getting ready to go see Benassi at tommy africas (last monday), heard the music, checked in the other room saw the commercial and could only shake my head...

[justShell]

^^
that would be rad. if i were getting ready for a concert and i heard the person just randomly on a comercial for the first time i'd be stoked. but then again if i were getting ready for a concert i'd be drunk. and im easily excited..

[Pussy*Kat]

hahahahahha i love your post candi shell.....

*laughing hysterically*
cuz im easily excited too

[Drazkers]

I was stoked, the wendy's spot kinda put me down abit, then my freinds came by and we did our pre party drinking, went all the way back to full. Turned out to be a fun night.

I see that ad for the Wendy's triple burger all the time...3 patties, I can feel the arteries hardening now...

[decypher]

Electronic music is in every commercial.

[baby-phat]

^^ All sorts of companies are jumping on the electronic music bandwagon for their commercials I've noticed.
I dunno if I've seen said commercial, but regardless I love to eat at Wendy's so it makes no difference to me. :p :)

dancing and burgers... sounds like a good way to destroy whatever your wearing

[-evil-duerr-]

man, i saw that. they are totally ripping off mcdonalds idea.....which was a stupid idea in the first place. No one eats at these types of places because of their "cool" factor.

Here's an idea for the fast food giants;
Insure us that there are security cameras (and people monitoring these cameras) watching your pimpley 15 year old employees' every move.
I've worked at mcdonalds, and have friends who've worked at mcdonalds. Every time you eat there is like a round of russian roulette.

I like it.. mm burgers.

I believe that selling your music to be used as a marketing tool cheapens it. Moby was the first artist to license out his entire albulm to advertising. I give mad respect to artists like Coldplay who turn down huge deals.

[Drazkers]

didn't moby put all his music out to sound tracks not commercials?

[decypher]

Nah he hit up both i believe. I remember his tracks were all over the commercials. I guess you can't blame someone for wanting to make as much as they can but i still think it cheapens the music unless the track was specifically made for whatever it is used for.

[Drazkers]

I don't know, if i was moby i'd do the same as him, like really if you've hear a 30 second soundbyte on tv does it really cheapen it at a party or club?

[decypher]

Well the way i see it is when making a track you pour your thoughts and emotions into it. By licensing it out for advertisement your allowing your music to represent Audi cars or McDonalds fish fillet and to me that stinks! heh

But honestly, it really does cheapen the music.

[-evil-duerr-]

this is true.
I can't even listen to "Its been along time" anymore without thinking of that stupid car commercial.
We're talking about led zeppelin here, their music is indestructable....or so i thought.

grrr. and when they started playing "Little Green Bag" (and songs which sounded similar) on commercials.. that pissed me off.
how could they go and ruin that one too. fuckers.

[decypher]

Yeh i want to envision what the artist had in mind when creating the composition not big macs and extra large fries.

[Skitzo_Style]

i liked it. made me wanna go get a burger!

i also like that new bacardi commercial where they play speed garage. makes me wanna get drunk off of rum.

clever marketing as far as i am concerned.

[Chewy]

that song is old news

[mapleleaf4ever]

Or what about that damned Bacardi Commercial with Speed Garage in it? blah.

[Pussy*Kat]

bhhaha i love the bacardi commercial...cuz its a track that was made just for bacardi which makes it so much better!

[Disco_Whore]

I somehow see Bacardi as the lesser evil of the two since getting shitfaced is easily associated with going out.


...As for Satisfaction: it's been more than over played. Enough.
