Cure song on HP commercial

[Bunbury]

Has anyone seen it? They play Pictures of You.
I was fuckin surprised when I heard it. The band must have cashed in big time for their sing to be used in a HP commercial

 

[FelipeVox]

HP? Hewllet Packard? Harry Potter? What?

 

[Bunbury]

HP? Hewllet Packard? Harry Potter? What?

Harry Potter?? No man, Hewlett Packard it's a digital camera commercial. Harry Potter.....*snickers*

 

[u2popmofo]

What's your point?

 

[Basstrap]

I was really surprised when I heard modest Mouse on a sports utility commercial :S

 

[u2popmofo]

'Elevation' is used on the all the Mountain West Conference commercials.

 

[Bunbury]

What's your point?

Nothing really, besides the fact that a Cure song was used for a computer commercial

 

[u2popmofo]

That's cool. I dont even know why I asked that

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

do you know the manics' nicky wire, for all his bluff and bluster about bringing down the capitalist system and social revolution, has appeared in an ad for bass strings?

oh, the irony. still love them, though!

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

i thought i heard Pictures of You on my tv the other day.

oh well, more $$ for the cure.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i saw this commercial and then i came on and saw this thread.

It kind of depressed me a bit actually. I mean, a little more than the Cure usually depresses me. *sigh*

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

usually I hear it's the record company or the publisher who allows these things to go ahead

 

[ti-hua]

yeah, you're right - it's whoever owns the copyright.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

oh well more bling bling for whoever gets the rights to one of the songs that reminds me of my ex.

why did i just say bling bling? *tosses self to the reject box*

Well, I'm not going to run right out and buy a HP digital camera, but I may just pick up a Cure cd or two...
