"In any event, I think it'd be a great scam for Discharge to sell 'Never
Again' to Windex. Dirty streaks on your mirrors? Woman pulls out a
bottle of Windex to spray clean it. Discharge then kicks in, "Well,
never, never, never again!' --never again with Windex, that is. So -- no
YouTube link for the "Jet Boy Jet Girl" ad? :("


And also--

Someone asked how old The Fall song used in the Outlander SUV commercial
was. It ain't that old. Not exactly "Bingo Master's Breakout" being used
to sell one f these highway behemoths.

But let's say big corps. did decide to follow suit and dig into these
bands' extensive back catalogues. Drug company Roche could use the song
"Rowche Rumble," the song The Fall wrote about Roche's Valium pill in
the 70s; Roche could use it as background music in their new commercial
for benzodiazepenes and valium-derivatives like Klonopin and Xanax. The
possibilities are almost endless.
