... Speaking of older New Wave popping up on TV commercials ....
Have you caught Lene Lovich's "Ney Toy" on that Xmas Toy store commercial, ( Not to mention that whack-o housewife going "Swiffer" Nuts to DEVO's Whip it)!
I think the Main reason this stuff is starting to crop up in the backround of commercials, Movies & TV is that the decision makers at the AD Agencies & production studios are in their 30's & 40's.
Back about 10-15 yaers ago there was a lot of 50/60's music popping up on commercials for the first time, & I'm sure when the current crop of 12-20 year old Hip Hoppers reach 40 & start "making the decisions" We will hear Buick & Palmolive commercials a little differently than we do now......
