GYOW cover on Anoro asthma commercial
I just saw a commercial for Anoro asthma medication and they play a cheesey cover of "Go your own way," during it. Kinda sad seeing FM let their classic song get covered in a cheesey commercial

Lindsey has made a fortune off Holiday Road. Its been used in several commercials. Even Everywhere was used in a commercial. The ad you refer to is not even new, its been around for awhile. I don't see anything wrong with it. Few could turn down a million dollars so that 5 seconds of their song is used in a commercial. Lindsey has probably made more money off Holiday Road than every solo album and solo tours added together over his entire career. Few have the courage of their convictions like Jim Morrison. In 1969 he turned down $75,000 to allow Light My Fire be used in a commercial. The rest of the Doors protested but Jim wrote the song. In 1969 $75,000 would be over $500,000 today. |

I am not a regular television watcher, so I didn't realize the mentioned commercial has been around for a while. I wasn't trying to offend anybody nor was I trying to put any members of the Mac down for doing what they want with their music. I just never have liked it when popular songs are turned into commercials. Yes, I know a hit song is basically a commercial to sell the album. But hearing a classic song, sang by a generic commercial singer, turning it into a "jingle" for television/radio commercials just sounds weird to me. |

The makers of Anoro must be thrilled at this blog since it was enough to mention the product. See... the advertisement is working ;)
This is not directed any anyone here but its hypocritical times a million when Landslide was used to sell beer the thread about it was everyone loving the commercial. I loved the pony Everywhere commercial. |

This got me thinking about other products FM songs could be used for: Over My Head- Gamblers Anonymous or bankruptcy lawyers Little Lies- Ashley Madison website You Make Loving Fun- ointment cream for STDs |
Ooh, just thought of another one:
Big Love- for Viagra. Could you imagine this song playing over images of men playing basketball, eating breakfast, jogging, going to work, etc all while in the background we hear Lindsey grunting? Too funny! |
I Can't Wait- over active bladder
If Anyone Falls- medic alert Stop Dragging My Heart Around- blood pressure medicine I knew I should have went into advertising! |

I thought the same thing when I first heard it. Then I thought, well Lindsey is making a ton of money. Or maybe someone in his family is using the medication. :shrug:

Does it sound like the last line sung "Go your own way" at the end of the commercial is sung by Lindsey. Several times I thought is that his voice at the end?
|
If this tour is a flop, maybe Mick will figure out a way to just sell the whole Rumours album to Big Pharma.

"The commercial song is “Go Your Own Way” by Jadyn Rylee featuring Sina & Andrei Cerbu. However, this song was produced specifically for the commercial and unfortunately, it is not available to purchase or download on any music sites." |
Good to know. I didn't think it was Lindsey, but the more I heard it, I thought to myself, at the end it kind of sounds like him singing the last line. Now I know. LOL.
