I get a real big kick out of the ad for some chi-chi cruise line that uses Iggy's "Lust For Life". I wonder if they know that song is about heroin addiction?

Basically what I see when I see that ad is "Come and bang up on Pacific Cruise Line" (or whoe

Oh come on. Unlike you i don't have records sitting around that i bought back in the 80's. I prefer new wave to still be on the pop culture consiencse because it ables the record lables to keep producing the old albums. It introduces it to other people

Take a closer look at Devo "tborg". They used that "light hearted and funny" thing as a nice little subversive wrapper for their anti-establishment messages. I'm sure there's dozens of references and background info that speaks to this.

Well, it's not new wave, but this one crossed the line for me...

They're using the 70's classic Redbone - Come and Get Your Love to sell frozen food. Ok, I was happy to hear the song, but now I get what you're saying Grayson!!!
