    I can get my hands on a few kits - low level stuff. I think we should tip around for the Peugeot marketing department and do a few spot tests.

    Just heard the new 305 or 50X radio ad this morning. Backing track: Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heavens Door"

    Seriously?

    Something about a bad song choice for marketing a car & testing whoever chose the song for drug use. 'Like a rolling stone' would be much safer!

    It's (was) cynicism - do you think that the backing track is a good choice?

    Dylan wrote as a backing for part of a film Pat Garrett (he cameos in the film). It also has a sublime lingering of an anti war song and it was the sh1t end of the stick in Vietnam when the film aired.

    Now, since we've done the Film buff thing. I still cant see WTF is has to do will selling family cars - that's the point.

    Its worse that just being irrelevant though isn't it? The songs lyrics are a deputy's thoughts as he lies dying after being shot. You would have thought that Peugeot would have considered that reflections on death would be a wholly inappropriate association for their cars!

    I doubt anyone cares about the meaning of the song. They see a car ad and a song the know. How many songs used in ads have anything to do with what's being sold?

    Sure its like that car crash ad that had Samantha Mumba's song in it. It potrays that if you speed, you are going to get your grove on with another person and make babies.

    You're probably right, but when you do know the meaning of the song it gives the ad a whole new angle i.e. this car is going to kill you, rather than this car is going to take you to driver's paradise.

    Technically it was a sample of a David Bowie song as oppose to an actual cover

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Is it anymore inappropriate than Opel/Vauxhall's 20 year association with Richard Clapton getting down on his knees for Patti Boyd - not sure what he was doing once he got down there.
