Selling out the '90s
I've always wondered when TiVo or the makers of a DVR recorder would start using Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" in commercials. It's one of many '90s songs that could soon spring up in commercials, which is the subject of this week's column.
A few others that didn't make it in there:
*Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places," slightly altered for an airline commercial:
"I've got friends who GO places ..."
*Christina Aguillera's "Genie in a Bottle" for a dishwashing liquid
"I'm a cleaner in a bottle, baby ..."
*R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" for a pain-reliever commercial
No changes necessary
