~Sitcom Theme Show Songs~
In the last two days I have noticed three commercials using old theme show songs. What’s up with that? The first one was a Talbot’s commercial set to the “Mary Tyler Moore” theme song. Then a car commercial featuring a hip, modern version of “The Jefferson’s” ,”moving on up”,theme song. Then tonight a M&Ms commercial with an “Adam’s Family” theme. Is this a new trend or just a coincidence? I suppose everything old is new again or maybe they are trying to reach a certain demographic? I remember a time when many commercials used classic rock songs. Are we running low on creativity or are the trying to grab us with something familiar? None of these songs would be familiar to my children or my husband for that matter. Hmmm, they must really be after a certain demographic and I guess I am it!

What I find interesting is so many songs that I love are being used for commercials – but without regard for their meaning. Yikes.
And, I also remember how much I hate that Michael Jackson owns the Beatles catalogue every time I hear a Beatles song.:giggle:
