I hope this never ever happens because it's completely ruined my ability to take such songs seriously unless I was already familiar with them. There are so many songs I'd hear for toothpaste or some house cleaner or Ford Truck ad, and I just want to get away from them because they invoke the product; even if I can't remember the product, I know it was used to advertize something for me, and I think, "That's wasn't just written for the ad? That's an actual song?"
It will be the death of U2 if it does that. The Cure could get away with Pictures of You because I knew the song, no lyrics were used, The Cure is just cool, and Robert Smith had to agree to it to get back his back catalogue because it was wrongly sold to the record company without his notice.
The ESPN thing was shameful; I don't even get ESPN, but the greedy idea of it disgusts me.
