Re: Worst Commercialization of a Song

Anybody see Jaguar, the quintessential car of the establishment, using "London Calling" by the Clash a few years ago?

I remember Paul Simon appearing on Letterman several years ago, discussing many of the ads he'd turned down.

Midas Mufflers actually pitched him on the idea of using "Sound of Silence" to sell mufflers ("Sound of Midas").
