Here's another song about addiction from a really out there movie about addiction

Does anyone else remember when Carnival Cruise Lines used that song in a commercial for family-friendly vacations?  I found that a bit surreal.

 

Sure...it's a song about heroin addiction, but it has a good beat and you can dance to it.

I do remember that cruise lines commercial.  Weird stuff.

 

Do you remember when HP used the Violent Femmes song Blister in the Sun to sell their laptops?  They had to know what that song was about.

 

This is the only version I could find (but I didn't look very hard).

I think Ad / Marketing  Agencies will use anything with a catchy beat or compelling melody to promote their goods. They figure most people won't have a clue as to where to song came from or it's meaning and, they're probably right.

Finally!  A laptop for people with big hands.

True.  That's why so many people still think "Every Breath You Take" is a love song, even playing it at their wedding.
