Jesus of Cool: Suedehead & Pigskin

I may be a bit slow on the uptake these days when it comes to television commercials — I don’t watch much live TV anymore, what with the TiVo and all. But after about four viewings of this commercial last night during the Phillies-Dodgers game, I finally identified what must be the most perplexing music placement in advertising history. Listen closely and enjoy, if you haven’t caught this one before…

    ….wow. Way to use one line and totally disregard the meaning of a song.

    Shouldn't that be “stop me if you think you've heard this one before”? :P

    It's not perplexing. They play football on Sunday. Everybody in the world is familiar with the chorus of that song. .001% may know all the lyrics and the deeper meaning.

    And Morrissey would probably write the following in the on the back of his check: “Heaven knows I'm miserable now.”
