Title: May have just seen the worst use of a Beach Boys song in a ad Post by: Wrightfan on October 18, 2015, 12:39:51 PM It was a commercial for CVS (A pharmacy in the U.S. for those who don't know.) It talked about part D medicaid plans and ended with two elderly ladies being so relieved that they went to a nude beach.
Oh, and the commercial was the INSTRUMENTAL for California Girls. Just weird all over.

Beach Boys fans disagree!

Beach Boys fans disagree! No we don't. So "great commercial," "fell over laughing," and "truly funny" aren't in disagreement with "worst use"? OK. Seems like a disagreement to me. EDIT: if you were joking (as in, disagreeing with my statement about disagreements), that's funny. And I'm an idiot for not catching it.

Yes, it was a joke! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNkjDuSVXiE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNkjDuSVXiE) Title: Re: May have just seen the worst use of a Beach Boys song in a ad Post by: lostbeachboy on October 18, 2015, 05:47:53 PM I saw it, and it put a smile on my face.
Title: Re: May have just seen the worst use of a Beach Boys song in a ad Post by: Ron on October 18, 2015, 07:46:22 PM I saw the commercial but I'm too dense to even get the point. In general though I always like it when they use Beach Boys music in things, because I know the boys are making money and more people are getting to hear their wonderful music!
Title: Re: May have just seen the worst use of a Beach Boys song in a ad Post by: Shane on October 18, 2015, 09:30:32 PM I've seen it on TV a few times. I think each time I completely ignored the commercial, and just grooved to the real authentic wrecking crew backing track.

I'm explaing a cool commercial I saw to somebody, but can't for the life of me remember what the commercial's... you know... actually advertising! They probably should do a better job branding in some of these, but what do I know. Title: Re: May have just seen the worst use of a Beach Boys song in a ad Post by: Amy B. on October 21, 2015, 04:27:47 PM I just saw this ad for the first time. I thought it was cute. "California Girls" used for older women going to a nude beach. And I thought using the instrumental was a nice, subtle choice that also highlights Brian's arrangement skills. :) That song is so recognizable that I'm sure many non-BB fans will ID it.

Although surely the most gruesome use of a BB song in our part of the world was on Belgian TV (Canvas) when the original "Good Vibrations" was used in a trailer for a programme about... vibrators. :lol Title: Re: May have just seen the worst use of a Beach Boys song in a ad Post by: bonnie bella on December 30, 2015, 01:44:27 PM Wow, the "I Get Around" ad is terrifically bad.
I suspected what it was advertising at the beginning (why was there a need to show a woman coping on a bicycle in the 80s when she was ... otherwise afflicted?) but then the guy and the dog threw me right off. Until explained above, I thought it was selling chewing gum, or maybe aspirin. |
