The lounge-lizard version of "Brown Sugar" in the Kahlua
commercials is blasphemous.

Steve & Edie's rendition of "Black Hole Sun".
This could also be cross referenced to the "Just... no" item.

Pretty much any classic bit of music that has been sleazed around to make it
the soundtrack for a commercial. I recall a Sony ad a few years back
featuring Marvin Gaye's "Mercy Mercy Me" with some extra percussion added.
The really ironic bit was that the song is about pollution, to which Sony
contributes thanks to all the semiconductor manufacturing Sony does.

if i remember rightly, "oh what a night" was recorded by a band
called paper lace, and frankie valli wasn't the singer. i'll happily
sit corrected, though.

The original was Done by Frankie Vallie and the 4 Seasons, as was the
remake. I could be wrong on that, but....:)

RE #59-60 BTW, the name of the Frankie Valli/Four Seasons song in question
is "December 1963 (Oh What A Night)."

Originally labeled as "December 23, 1963". That was not a good
night in the Ryan household.

It's not all bad. My best bud arranged a portion of the recent Lincoln Mercury
"Save The Best For Last" jingle. Every time it plays, his two year old gets
slightly further from eating store-brand cereal.

Paper Lace also did the original version of "Billy Don't Be A Hero," a cover
of which was a #1 hit for Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods.

The problem with Christian music (and Christian philosophy and Christian
art and Christian fiction and...) is that the music is secondary to the
message. In other words, its "success" is based on how accurately the
lyrics convey the theology in question, rather than on whether it's any
damn good to listen to. Which it therefore usually isn't.

I tend to agree with #68 that the problem with Christian music is that
there's generally more Christian and less music (you know what I mean..)
but I have another problem with it as well. Despite the fact that if you
pinned me down I'd probably describe myself as Christian, the views and
emotions sung about in most of what you hear on Christian radio stations
are foreign to my personal experience of Christianity -- they just seem
really hokey and irrelevant to real-life religious beliefs and spirituality
to me..

True. Which is why I no longer listen to it.

Well, it's just a message that I have heard countless hundreds of times,
and don't really have any desire to hear again, and coupled with music
that is generally not even third rate, this makes a rather unpleasant
listening experience.
It is not really a "problem", however, since I don't listen to it. :)

Amy Grant has in fact separated from her husband of 16 years, Gary
Chapman (also a christian singer, and host of Prime Time Country on The
Nashville Network). So I reckon she has her own issues to deal with
right now.

I'd imagine the lyrics are relevant to certain people. The problem is
that first and foremost the lyrics are relevant to the artist, and
generally Christian music artists have a lot more security in things
than, say, me. Thus it's harder to relate.

The Whitney Houston song from the Bodyguard soundtrack. Ugh.
And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
will always love you.
Celine Dion - All By Myself. "Don't want to be all byy myself. All by myself.
All by myself. All by myself. Dont wanna be all by myself."
Can the song get any more repetative?

RE #78 Actually, the Celine Dion song you mentioned was a cover of a mid
1970's song by Eric Carmen called "All By Myself."
