I've always been one to seek out music in commercials. All the cool tunes from the Mitsubishi commercials, VW and the "Da Da Da" song, usually the edgy commercials seeking a young audience uses new and upcoming music. My iPod is full of these tunes. However, I saw a commercial this weekend that made me just scratch my head. The newest Ford commercial, sans Kelly Clarkson or Taylor Hicks just shows a woman talking about Fords. Nothing edgy, no quick edits, just a very basic and somewhat boring visual. But in the background? Nth Degree by Morningwood. No words either, just a Musak version of Morningwood. I don't think I blame the band for selling out, more the advertising firm who thought this was a good idea. But I guess if I'm blogging about it, it's working...I guess.
