Subject: Song Suggestions for Awkward Commercials
Written By: ADH13 on 01/10/10 at 10:11 pm
This thread was actually inspired by my cousin's facebook page... people were having alot of fun with this so I thought I'd bring it here... hopefully it doesn't end up crossing the line :-\\
So they were talking about songs that could be used in commercials for birth control, viagra, feminine hygiene products, etc...
like "Here Comes The Rain Again" for feminine hygiene products...
or "Hello... is it me you're looking for?" for Viagra...
There must be tons of funny ones... thought it would be good for a few laughs.

like "Here Comes The Rain Again" for feminine hygiene products...
This cuts both ways. How about video suggestions for inadvertently-awkward commercials.
For instance, if you start with the audio from that old deodorant commercial featuring thousands of down-home honest Americans from Joe Sixpack to Lady Liberty herself - all raising their arms, showing the world the power of 600,000,000 armpits gloriously and ecstatically free of sweat stains...
Raise your hand! (You've got it!)
Raise your hand! (You know it!)
You feel confident! Secure!
Raise your hand! (You know why now!)
Raise your hand! (You feel dry now!)
Raise your hand if you're sure!
Confident, confident, dry and secure!
Raise your hand, raise your hand if you're sure!
And just replace the video with random footage from Triumph of the Will...
Yep, I'm going to the special hell...
