NCS	Agreed, all dreadful and annoying. A really erroneous track choice was The Co-op supermarket using Andy Williams "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" for picnic and al fresco ads during this past summer. Amazing their ad agency persuaded them to do it.

Now there's that car advert with some woman singing the Jam's 'That's Entertainment' REALLY slowly, like it's SO evocative and, like, meaningful, man. Just put a sock in it! I share your pain, Pru. There was a particularly excruciating version of "Happiness is da troof" on last week's X factor. Who came up with idea to make classics s sound tweed ? 02 were out of touch using Little Boxes in their ads. Did they? You mean the Pete Seeger song? I am glad I missed it. Was the theme "get our phone and be like everyone else"?
