On my recent Thanksgiving Break to Seattle I was bored as hell and was on the old television as usual and came across an Advil commercial. I couldn't help but notice that the background music of a guy running up a mountain side with his bike was none other than Morrissey's song: "Ammunition". It wasn't the actual song cuz you know how sometimes they change the music a little bit cuz of copyright infringement or something like that... so yeah just wondering if I was the only one to see that commercial?

Reliably devious and truculent.

I've seen the commercial, and was (paranoiacly?)struck by the similarity to "Ammunition" as well. However, you have to admit that both songs feature a more-or-less standard 4-chord progression, and I think this is just wishful listening.

(The commerical, by the bye, actually features 4 completely different chords, but in a very similar progression to "Ammunition".)

Thats nothing, i once heard a shabby fake version of "How soon is it Now?" in a porn movie. Im not even joking.. I was flipping through the channels and heard through one of the scrambled channels, I noticed that the channel was the Spice Channel.
