lend me £10 and i'll buy you a drink

I know... I know... there really are no depths of cognitive dissonance and just plain weirdness that haven't been plumbed already by some TV commercial's use of music. But still. Just saw a commercial for a Cadillac minivan with lots of shots of happy, sunny family togetherness. All set to "Sunny Side of the Street" by Pogues. Yes, that's a song from their end days and it's one of their happier, peppier numbers. I'd even let it slide if they'd just kept it to the instrumental break. But once Shane MacGowan starts slurring away it sends the whole thing off to some really unhealthy place. Shane singing and images of happy, smiling children just do not belong together. Nick Cave would be more disturbing. But only slightly.
