Didn´t Paul state that he did not want his songs used for commercial use? Remember the Midas Muffler discussion re SOS?

Anyone seen this tv add played in Australia. I thought also that Paul did not authorise his songs for commercial use. I would not have thought for alcohol anyway.

Yes,I was surprised at that commercial too Helen. I haven´t seen it for awhile-not on Queensland tv anyway.

he loosened up on that a while ago.
there was an MSN commercial a few years ago (butterfly flying) - can´t remember what the song was. feeling groovy? not sure.

Great ad, they used to play it a lot during Friday night Footie {League} here in Sydney.

I was so mad I couldn´t get the Yankees
playoff game, only people with cable
get it here so I watching the Phillies.
But I´ve never heard of that
commercial.

Guess it is important for what products.

Right tires in winter (whether by Bridgestone or not) improve security.

So what song would be ideal for condoms?

Pauls songs are used for commercials more often than you might think.
Here in Austria Late In The Evening was used for a butter advertisement. (it was played so quiet that you could only hear the melody, but not the lyrics... obviously the lyrics would not have made any sense... )

Here in Germany the melody of Scarborough Fair is used for a sausage commercial (Rügenwalder).

I don´t see how Scarborough Fair qualifies as a Paul Simon song. Certainly wouldn´t have to get any consent from him to use it.
