Mazda Rebel, Rebel Ad

Rebel, Rebel playing? Personally, I think it's cool and besides more money
for DB is just fine by me.

What is the complete list of Bowie songs used in ads in the 90's?
Changes -- Timex Watch
Space Odity -- Snapple
Hereos -- Microsoft
Rebel Rebel -- Mazda
I'm probably missing one or more here. It's kind of strange. At least
it isn't as bad as that bank in Canada using Bob Dylan's, "The Times are a
Changin"

Ads never bother me personally though I know they do for some fans. Actually,
trth be told, I even get a kick out of hearing Bowie's music in any setting,
be it on a movie sountrack, on TV as incidental music or in an ad. I'd be
much more bothered if nobody wanted to use Bowie's music in these ways.

"Sound And Vision" was used in ads for a video chain in the UK. Space Oddity
was used for the same pupose here in Ireland. "Moonage Daydream" was used for
Dunlop tyres. That's all I can think of right now, but there are lots more.
Slan libh,

What does Moonage Daydream have to do with tires or Space Oddity have to
do with juice? It seems really inappropriate for the product. The other
products seem to be appropriate though.

I'm with Dara here. I really like hearing it in a format other than
just my cd player, and I don't get bothered with the "selling out"
thing. I like it when people hear the tune and ask, "What is that?" and
I can smile and tell them.

I'm listening to the Passenger by Iggy and I think that would be more
appropriate for the Mazda commercial. Oops, gotta' go, Turn Blue is on
now.

I agree, although I hate it when they get somebody else to record a substandard
version of song, which is then used in the commercial (look at the ad for the
Phillips CD-R recorder where they have this crappy version of The Beatles'
Getting Better). Also, last night on Sex In The City on HBO, for the last
quarter of the show Sarah Jessica Parker was wearing this pink t-shirt with
Aladdin Sane on it. I couldn't stop staring at the t-shirt the entire time it
was on the screen, lol.

Pepsi seems to have a reputation for butchering songs. Remember when they had
the singing bug sing Brown Sugar?

I thought I was the only one who cringed when they heard that.

Funny, on my Lust For Life CD, Tonight comes after The Passenger.

From koud...@aol.com on alt.movies.kubrick; Subject: Kubrick vs. a soup ladle
--
Stanley Kubrick is not nearly as good for serving broth as a soup ladle. (I
suppose, if he cupped his hands carefully, there might be some discussion of
this point, but it seems a poor use of Mr. Kubrick's talents.) But, that said,
on the other hand (insomuch as it's an inanimate object) a soup ladle is almost
totally unable to direct a film anywhere near as well as Stanley Kubrick.

I think it was actually Canada Dry or Schweppes Raspberry Ginger
Ale, not Snapple -- and wasn't it a can going into space?
Yeah, I know that there sometimes isn't a strong enough association
between the product and the song (if there is one at all). I guess
"Microsoft" was trying to make a positive association with "Heroes",
to create some sort of "inspiration", and I guess "Mazda" wants to
remind us old Bowie fans that we are still "Rebel Rebels" at heart
(anyone who buys the cars can associate then with "freedom",
with individuality, etc.).
I do like the "Rebel Rebel" commercial. But I'd also like it if it was
a NIke commercial, I suppose... Although it wouldn't make a good
Campbells Soup Commercial...Yeah, a car commercial is fine.
(What was that other car commercial that sounded so much like "Lust
for Life"?)

There was a car commercial recently that used an instrumental background of
Lust For Life. No lyrics though. Couldn't tell you what car company it is
though.

Rebel Rebel was used in a deodourant advert in England many years ago.
See Ya!

I could have sworn it was a snapple bottle. The commericial I remember is
the beverage in question was sitting at the launchpad with the begginning
of Space Odity and then when "and may god's love be with you" the thing
started taking off with the bass guitar slide. Then you saw it flying up
to heavens when the music started again.
Although some company should use the floating in this tin can sometime.

It's funny, some would say "Heroes" would be a good song for Microsoft
competitors. I think what they were sayying is that your company would
have the advantage over other companies to win, if you use Microsoft
products.

Do you remember what the first and I think only commercial that used a
John Lennon song? It was a Nike commercial sporting "Instant Karma"
Yoko Ono I guess really didn't want any of Lennon's songs commercialized,
but I guess she agreed that the "join the human race" line was too good to
pass up.

Yeah -- I actually liked that one (although again, it was mostly the
song that I liked --- I always loved that one!).
There was another commercial (perhaps a telephone company commercial,
like AT&T) that used Lennon's "Love" ("Love is real...Real is
Love...) They altered the lyrics a bit, which bothered me somewhat.

I would think it would be more "rebellious" not to use any deodorant
at all (or wear any underwear, for that matter -- and perhaps never
bathe... OR -- Oh, forget it!)!

>: Ale, not Snapple -- and wasn't it a can going into space?
i believe that it was a schweppes bottle and the phrase used was along the
lines of " the original british pop"
Kathleen
Now that makes better sense to me, because I couldn't see what Space
Oddity had to do with pop.
