Yeah, you are the only one. J/k ! Well, you have to realize that Cadillac markets to the older (40+) drivers. Zeppelin fans from back in the day are getting to be about that age now.

Well, you're probably right. Guess I just have a mental block about being considered an "Older Driver"

about how likely it is that Celine Dion straps her kid into a CHRYSLER every day and drives around in the mountains with him by herself. Come on, you know that kid rides around wearing a Prada sleeper in a Burberry car seat in the back seat of a Mercedes while jeeves the driver drops them off at the Plaza.
Actually, she does drive a Chrysler. When she was on Oprah a few weeks ago she was driving it around like it was a Bentley. From what I could see, it was fully loaded and more than likely had features not offered to the general public.

yeah but... who's to say she doesn't have: old school maybachs, jags, ferraris, aston martins, etc., kicking around?
If i had that kind of money, i'd go the Jay Leno route and have a slew of ridiculous cars.

[/hijack]

That Journey song has a line "All night, all night, all every night". A squad used it at a pom pon (dance team) competition I was at in high school. I thought it said "all night, all night, all f*cking night"! I couldn't believe they were using it in competition!

Of course, another time a squad used a song that actually said "And you're rushin' headlong..." - I thought it was "Operation headgehog" ?!?

I guess I should be putting these in the "Wrong Lyrics" thread. Sorry!

Is anyone else tired of seeing the same commercials over and over and over again.

They have the commercial here in cleveland. it's pretty sad when the song gets overplay.

I think sting started the pop songs with cars when he did the Jaguar commercial.

Catchy commericals used to bother me, but i've experienced worse.

I worked in the Gap a few years ago when the khaki and cords commercials were really popular. So in addition to hearing "Mellow Yellow" at home on tv, I would hear it in-store

I know I have worked in the Gap since 11th grade and I remember all those songs would be played. Like everyone in leather they would play that Madonna song "Ill dres you up in my love"
