Day 15: A song or jingle heard in a TV commercial
"Pink Moon" - Nick Drake
Question - do the second song passes have expiration dates? Because I think I still have one from July I never used.

I loved the song to this iconic commercial. It’s L’Ascenceur by Thierry Fauchard and Alain Plumauzille.
Lynx - The Lift
Bonus post using my second song pass. An Australian classic: ‘Happy Little Vegemites’

Good question! Yes, in the past the second song passes from decades week bonus points expired at the end of that month or the next. So that July one is out
.Second song passes for indigenous peoples’ day will expire at the end of November!

I don't watch TV, or commercials, at least not consciously. I haven't in a very very long time, so this is a difficult one for me...
I can't come to think of anything at all, so, uh...
Bada ba ba baaa
I'm Lovin' It

Hulu isn't available here, but, do your streaming services have commercials!? What's the point of paying for them then?

Day 15: A song or jingle heard in a TV commercial
There’s a story behind this. My ex-mother in law was pretty much everything I wasn’t. Staunchly conservative. Catholic. Prim and Proper. Baby Boomer 50s sensibility.
Somehow we became great friends and really got along. And I broke her chops incessantly (along with help from my ex wife, bro and sister in laws) about everything: movies, politics, actors and of course music. She was a Diamondhead. She loved show tunes, bombast and all things Niel Diamond. She DESPISED Barry Manilow for whatever reason. So along w encouragement from bro/sis in law and my ex, we decided to “come out” that we were big Fanilows. For one night only, we had it out after Sunday night dinner: Diamond vs Manilow. My ex BiL and I started a mock “argument” of who was better. And we played songs by each. My ex MiL was really serious about it. A few weeks later I broke the news to her that I was really joking. Man, was she pissed at me!
I will admit that Diamond and Manilow are brilliant songwriters. But their style is nothing like mine. They are bombast. Show Tune-y, Maximalists of music. My musical tastes count be more opposite!
Anyway, I had to admit that I really like this song. Until we practiced for this, I didn’t think anything of Barry Manilow. But I learned that he started out as a jingle writer. Wrote some of the jingles you hear here.

I get it for 99 cents a month (Black Friday deal) with commercials. And I got it originally for What We Do in the Shadows.Hulu isn't available here, but, do your streaming services have commercials!? What's the point of paying for them then?

Hulu does get very cheap on Black Friday as @UnquietDreams mentioned so I'll use a different email to sign up every yearHulu isn't available here, but, do your streaming services have commercials!? What's the point of paying for them then?
I'm old enough to remember when Hulu was free with ads but now it's just a lot cheaper than ad free.

Day 15: A song or jingle heard in a TV commercial
House music isn't known for its lyrics. The focus is more on the beat, and while some have singers, the vocals are more often short snippets sampled from other songs.
I first heard Dirty Vegas's "Days Go By" in an ad for Mitsubishi, and enjoyed the beat. I bought it and downloaded it, and figured it would end up in my library after a week or two, like so many others. I still edit videos for projects occasionally, and you never know when a song may come in handy. That was my thought, but I listened to the lyrics. And again. And again. And it has been in my regular rotation since 2004 or so.
"You are still a whisper on my lips
A feeling at my fingertips
That's pulling at my skin
You leave me when I'm at my worst
A feeling as if I've been cursed
Bitter cold within
Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you"
There are two actual acoustic versions, both outstanding -- one on the album, and a later one with just acoustic guitar and violin under the vocals.
"Days Go By" resonated with me then, and still does. Though I have never had anyone pop and lock to it in my passenger seat. But then again, I drive a Kia...
"Days Go By," Dirty Vegas
