Slate, the online magazine, has asked its readers for the worst ad songs. These are not catchy new customized jingles, but uses of established songs in commercials.
Voted the worst by a wide margin was Iggy Pop’s “Lust for Life” used by Carnival Cruise Line spots. You mean doing drugs doesn’t fit in with a first-class cruise experience?
On reader commented that the cruise ship company probably wouldn’t allow anything like Iggy’s “done it in the ear before” to happen on their ships.
It could be the sound, not the lyrics that they wanted in their commercial.
