^Really now...I heard it on CNN last year for some report...random
I have never once heard Real Thing in any media campaign... maybe it has something to do with where I live? It's played about once every two months on one radio station here in Austin, and that's probably the only station in the state that plays it at all.
Yeah. Like, seriously, what the fuck. A few years ago I thought Everlasting Love was a U2 original. They play it all the freaking time.In Adelaide, the cover of Everlasting Love is by far one of the most played U2 songs on the radio, so I doubt using EBTTRT in Today Tonight reports about loud neighbours that drive tractors into verandas is the norm.

Everlasting Love gets played heaps here, too.In Adelaide, the cover of Everlasting Love is by far one of the most played U2 songs on the radio, so I doubt using EBTTRT in Today Tonight reports about loud neighbours that drive tractors into verandas is the norm.
Born in the USA trumps all of thoseI connot stand it when they use songs in media/advertising/sports venues, just because someone has misunderstood its meaning, usually based off a literal interpretation of the title.
as if EBBTRT can ever be about [insert crappy product/sports team]
or Elevation about how high an athlete can jump
or Sexy Boots about football attire (it gets used on Dutch TV for Champions' League highlights )
Indeed...dunno if it's been mentioned, but the MTV awards performance (/w Dana Carvey as Garth) springs to mind.
YouTube - Even Better Than The Real Thing (ZooTV Detroit)
Does Dana Carvey actually know how to play drums or is that just supposed to look cool ?
Dana Carvey knows how to play the drums, yes.
