Nominees for the worst commercio-corruption of a good old rock song?
Advertisements [?]
I was thinking of the "Wrangler" commercial that came out a while back where it plays the first few chords of CCR's "Fortunate Son" to make it seem like some flag-waving ditty. They come on with a tight shot of a tight ass in blue jeans with CCR playing , "Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
ooh, they're red, white and blue " and then stop before the song goes on to




"And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief",
oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no senator's son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no,"


I know, I know it means our heroes of the past have sold their lyrics to the highest bidder-but it still pisses me off.
