*various incoherent noises*

I have put up with them using "Revolution" in a shoe commercial. I have put up with them using the overture from "Tommy" in an antacid commercial. But I draw the !_)@*#& line at using "Blitzkrieg Bop" on a AT&T Wireless commercial.

I just have to think there are devious subversive minds down in the PR/ad agencies who actually *read the entire lyrics* for a song, and know that the originals largely contradict the messages of the Bowdlerized commercial versions. And that the familiarity with the tune will lead more people to listen to the original.

But then, I have been accused of being an optimist.
