What is the fucking deal with these gag reflex-tripping songs on commercials these days? Can't really fault the artists, they would just flounder into obscurity if some total cocksucking queen of a commercial director didn't shove them in our faces on the television.
I boycott all these products. Of course I wasn't going to buy a goddamn Outback anyway, but still. I take notice of the products these wretched songs are selling and I actively spread rumors that they should be avoided at all cost. I'll tell everybody I know who are shopping cars that Subaru Outbacks are total janky-ass lemons whether it's true or not.
Just a guess, but I kind of assume by and large that community college students may not have the greatest taste in music. Maybe they're trying to speak to the demographic in their own language.
Okay, here's another one. Guilty party is Joanna Newsom and the song is "Bridges And Balloons". I guess it's supposed to sound precious but I think somebody is going to end up making an attempt to kill Ms. Newsom if they keep showing this commercial.
Never listened to Joanna Newsom. One of her songs was sampled by The Roots and I dug that. I think she's 'hip'. Why else would ?uestlove sample her, ha.

On the upside, here's a commercial that proves not all music used for these things has to be horrible to be effective. Appropriating the super-awesome "Natural's Not In It" by Gang Of Four:
