Ok, so this blog started with information about some great tunes being picked up in adverts. But last night I had the misfortune of seeing an advert for two childrens' toys which, rather than using the real deal, has some kind of bastardised and generally downright disrespectful versions of I think "You Can't Sit Down" (love the Phil Upchurch Combo classic) and then Johnny Otis' "Hand Jive".
So I ask, clearly someone in the ad world for this company knew of these great tunes but then decided to commit hideous crimes upon them. Was it to save on the royalties? Did they think their reworked playground soundalikes added to the originals? This evil must be stopped...
(just in case anyone picks this up from the company (yeah, right!), whose name I can't recall - make sure you have a sense of humour when reading this but PLEASE don't mess up perfectly good tunes!!!)
Norwich's Modernist Night Out
Some general ramblings and musings when the fancy takes - well, it's easier than writing new web pages everytime! Plus it's a quicker way to add updates
