All these the terrible covers on adverts these days

Are they made to order or do advertisers have to search for them?

  • Made to order

    It's become a common way for the 'artist/writer' to get cash monies without losing 'cred'

    Also, it sidesteps the music supervisor having to deal with both label & publisher - having only too deal with the publisher to license the song and then having it covered in-house or by someone much cheaper than the actual original artist

  • I'd like to see more adverts with

    an overly breathy girl singing an acoustic version of a classic song.

      • When i saw that my immediate thoughts were it was better than the original. Can't believe

        Don't really watch x factor as a rule but seriously how many times do they say

        I've made my decision.........................................................................

        • You know Cyndi Lauper's version isn't the original right?

  • What irks me more than this is when

    adverts chop out bits of the song so that they can concatenate just the lyrical portions. Really grates when you know the song in question.
