raspathens Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Eric: Tell us how this works. Did you approve the lyric modification? Did you negotiate a flat fee or do you get paid on a per broadcast basis? Thanks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneNR Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 OMG!!! This is the SECOND Wendy's commercial using the ABM reference, I just saw the other one today during the Oakland As VS. San Francisco Giants televised game --- she (the cute little redhead) walks into a theater marquee, I think, and you hear part of ABM until she gets up next to it. Great stuff, to be so versatile a song it can be applied in other ways. Way to go, Mr. Carmen!!! AnneNR 6 6 __/ P.S. --- just saw it again while watching the BBC, It was her walking along a wet, rainy sidewalk, and she almost runs into a lighted bus stop poster ad. She is listening to ABM..... 9:05am PST 07-08-2014. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 That sleepless night back in '75 when you woke up and started scribbling in your notepad sure as heck paid off, that's for sure! Bernie 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew C. Clark Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I just saw another commercial (15 seconds) which the red haired woman walks by & does NOT see the sign that says the pretzel bun burger. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I´m not a fan of taking old gems (like All By Myself) and diluting their majesty by sticking them in a commercial, changing the words to something silly, especially in a commercial that´s not very good. We had this discussion here a long time ago re: other classic songs being re-used in advertising. I remember Darlene making a good point that at least these commercials get the music out again to a new audience, etc. And of course it is great that the artists can make some money, great for sure. But having said that, I´m still not a fan. It takes something away from the integrity of the song...I think. Larisa mentioned something like this with respect to the airport video. I´m kinda with her on this. Just a humble opinion from a humble dude, :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
