Erkki Posted June 30, 2013 That's surely one of the best queen songs, but if you put me under pressure I would have to pick a different song as my favourite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Leego Posted June 30, 2013 Hmm. You know, that could be construed as a trick reference to Bicycle Race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On that note, I don't have a cable subscription and can't really remember the last time I noticed an ad that wasn't a film trailer, so I may be the wrong person to gauge this by. Well, I'll just go ahead and gauge it by me then I have seen it a fair few times, the ad I remember seeing it in first iirc was something to do with racing down an airstrip or runway and it played in cinemas here too. It also gets used on shitty tv filler shows for montages a lot too. Same as how about 6 months after Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill Vol 1 came out a couple of songs off each got used over and over. What's worst is when other films start ripping off iconic song choices (like that The Rock movie that used Just Dropped In for the slow-mo intro of Billy Bob Thornton's wsahed-up, spaced out character, or how Charlie's Angels used tracks from The Matrix for the fight scenes that it ripped off from The Matrix).

Thyroid Posted July 3, 2013 Hey everyone. Just because some people seem to have missed it: I'm not leaving. Jake convinced me to stay (mostly by glaring at me across the figurative room), though I've decided to take certain precautions. Thank you. Back to work.

syntheticgerbil Posted July 9, 2013 All the heartwarming ads for banking, diapers, and hotels feature either ukeleles or little bell chimes. This has been going on for years now and I'm fucking sick of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
