The vast majority of people don't pay any attention to a song beyond its title and chorus, and marketers know this. Every song is just "doot doot doot chorus doot doot doot" to everyone who isn't a true fan or intellectual.

Whenever I hear the song Melt With You, I remember a post on here, from when it was featured in a Hershey's commercial, that said something along the lines of "It's a song about loving, you fucks".

When I grew up I legit thought my ears or brain were broken because the bits of lyrics I could parse were always monkey cheese bonkers.

This is 90% of songs, though. If you disallow every song that's about loving, what's left?

I looked up the commercial to make sure I was getting the right song, and I forgot about an important part of this: maybe try and use the 10% when you're ostensibly portraying a mother and daughter. https://youtu.be/RjSu5g600A0 e: flatluigi posted:i mean it's specifically about loving while an atom bomb falls on you which is kind of an important thing to not mention This too is important, and I also forgot it.

I remember some company using Dust In The Wind to promote their new green car (Nissan Leaf maybe?) because it was so high tech that it left everyone in the dust. I'm convinced the execs who signed off on it got as far as the title and said "yeah, sounds good" because there's no way you could listen to even a few seconds of that song and think it's a crowd pleaser.

Masterchef UK 2021 had Against All Odds playing while the winner got his trophy, fully instrumental apart from the repeated line 'take a look at me now'. Such a weird choice.

Haifisch posted:...they probably figure that the people going 'they used Semicharmed Life in the background of this ad, don't they know it's about meth lmao' are still paying attention to their ad so it's a win. I still sometimes think of those commercials for the Tigger movie. At least the only lyrics they included were "doot doot doot, doot doo doot doo". All the target audience is going to know about the song is the upbeat, catchy hook.

I believe they're transgender women, not transvestites, but yeah. Just seemed like a weird choice, but hey, "dumb marketing moves" are often weird choices. Bringing it up in this thread actually led me to learn that Walk on the Wild Side was about/inspired by Andy Warhol's posse, so hey, learn something new every day.

The average pop song (my definition is any song recognized by its performers rather than its writers) is sung by someone whose diction is so poor that the average listener gives up trying and just enjoys the tune.
