Is a favorite song "ruined" for you when it is used as soundtrack for a commercial?
How do you feel about this? Does seeing a favorite song used in a commercial change how you feel about the song or the artist who created it? Do you feel the same if the song is used after the artist is dead (and could not have given permission) vs. when the artist is alive and actively made the choice to sell the song?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In the case of dead artists I do believe the family has the call in that case, or whoever has been given rights to the music. In that case I would hope the artist made a wise choice in choosing this person, but it still wouldn't change the quality of the music.

The most obvious case to me happened with an already-overplayed song--"Sweet Home Alabama". For some reason KFC put it in some ads for....I don't know....boneless buffalo wild wings or something? I never really understood the connection or bought the product in the ads. The bottom line is that "Sweet Home" is a classic rock song with an amazing riff. But sadly, it was already on the brink of overexposure from sporting events, TV montages, and any reference to Alabama whatsoever (ugh). And the barrage of KFC commercials, which featured the opening riff as the commercial opened, just absolutely killed this song dead for me. I can't enjoy it, and probably won't be able to for years.

And yes, I've actually avoided KFC because of it. Isn't the first time I've boycotted a restaurant for having grating ads (I still won't eat at McD's until they stop saying "I'm lovin' it!").

M$You tell me. This is me--it aired in 1991, and the original had just come out (I think I actually run it back to back at the end of this clip.) Your speakers are not broken--you'll only hear one side because the station only caught one side--it's not been digitally remastered yet.

When I was a kid, I learned about Song 2 by Blur thanks to a Labatt beer commercial and never forgot it. People were singing it at school and everything. However, commercials can also make you like a song all over again, like the Sweet Caroline clip I've posted below.
