Bizarro-World Marketing
Just saw this commercial during “Iron Chef America.”
Cadillac. Selling a station wagon, of all things. Yuppie family getting ready in the morning. The Pogues‘ “Sunnyside of the Street” (off of Hell’s Ditch) as the soundtrack. And the verse they chose to use:
So I saw that train
And I got on it
With a heartful of hate
And a lust for vomit
Now I’m walking on the sunnyside of the street
As David St. Hubbins put it, “It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever.”
Ah well, at least Shane and the boys should be getting a few bucks out of it. Probably a good laugh, too.
Not that you can understand anything but “sunny side of the street” in the lyrics, anyway, especially if you’re one of the people who just blandly stares at commercials until the show you’re watching comes back on.

Wow, puts the “Lust for Life” cruise line commercials to shame…
