I just saw this tonight on Comedy Central. Have any of you seen it?

I don't think Mama got paid "Landslide/Budweiser" money for the Xbox spot but I'm sure she'll still giggle when she has the royalty check in her hand... :nod: and it's better than the "Holiday Road/Twizzler" spot...

These things do sell a lot though and the games are expensive. So, I wonder how much the artists whose music is used do make.

You might be right...GTA5 had 1 Billion in sales in 3 days...

I saw the commercial last night as I was lying in bed, and just turning the TV off. I was like "that beat sounds just like I Can't Wait, but there's no way it could be. Wait, that IS I Can't Wait!" :lol: Made me go to sleep with a smile on my face. It's proof to me that even Stevie's less classic material is coming into it's own. :)

I have a hard time thinking the music and footage fit together effectively, to be honest. Methinks someone in marketing is a fan, and wasn't thinking entirely strategically. But I always like the representation of an often-underappreciated song. :) Enjoy those royalties, Stevie.

OMG =1 billion??? This might be the new way to sell new songs in the future. I'll let you young fans buy these games I will never play and you can rip the music to mediafire for us all.
