St. Claire March 3, 2017 Share March 3, 2017 In the annoying car commercial in which the dads drive their kids to a date at the movie theater in a snowstorm, the music has recently changed. I swear it used to be "To Make you Feel My Love," but the commercial aired a bunch of times the other night with new music. The music has not made me less irritated at the kids for not calling each other to cancel the date due to the weather. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2929-earworms-music-in-commercials/page/9/#findComment-3044645

I think the Rolling Stones own their music; I've read that's why you hardly ever heard a Stones song in film or television, because the cost is prohibitive. They are picky about who they allow to use their music, and they charge an arm and a leg for it. (I read all this when Mad Men used "Satisfaction.") Paul McCartney sued over the Beatles catalog (the settlement is confidential), but there's some good information here - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/jul/04/beatles-song-rights-dispute-paul-mccartney-and-sony-atv-work-it-out 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2929-earworms-music-in-commercials/page/9/#findComment-3535774
OneWouldHope August 25, 2017 Share August 25, 2017 (edited) I believe the writers of the songs own the rights but often they may have sold the rights back to the publisher, particularly in the old days when performers were less sophisticated and they were offered what at the time was a lot of money* - or someone else. IE, Mick and Keith still own their songs and you hardly ever hear them. The Beatles quibbled, lost the rights, which reverted to Sony (who bought the original publisher, EMI, I think), who sold the catalogue to Michael Jackson. On topic... sorry, got nothing... *For example, the Isley Brothers sold their catalogue way back in the 60s or something and make NOTHING from the five million times Shout gets played!

ivygirl October 2, 2017 Share October 2, 2017 (edited) I'm not a fan of Imagine Dragons, especially because radio plays them INCESSANTLY (between Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day songs), and I really don't care for "Thunder" (songs where the singer is talking about how creative, original, famous, awesome they are are among my least favorite). So it's especially ridiculous as the soundtrack to the Microsoft Surface laptop. Maybe it's a cool laptop, but I seriously doubt it's so amazing you can compare yourself to a powerful natural element... and to say "I'm not a yes-sir, not a follower" when you're using a product from one of the Globocorp-iest Globocorps is pretty ironic and LOL-worthy too...
