Thriller this COMMERICAL!!!!!!!!

In this weeks discussion we learn about how a song can sell a product. Now it’s a given in any situation that commercials use music in their advertisement to sell their products. But one company has come to a serious halt when they are selling their product. The company spirit has used some of Michael Jackson’s music to sell their Halloween costumes but the commercial is just dreadful when it comes to the way they represented that song. The commercial is about a minute long and has people dancing and waving their hands while they show off the costumes they are selling Now I dislike the comerical lot because it disgraces the majesty of Thriller. It’s not that I am a Michael Jackson fan or anything its that people use his music to sell their busted Halloween costumes I mean it sucks because Jackson is pop culture icon and seeing a bunch of dorks running around in a commercial for a Halloween ad is repulsive the representation of thriller is done very poorly in the commercial. An example of the stupidity is at the last part of the chorus in the song the commercial puts a stupid baby laughing like a devil. Now that sucks to have your art and good name being smashed on by a Halloween ad, I know that the Thriller music video had zombies and ghouls but the song was good and the dancing was incredibly intense and too compare garbage Halloween costumes with thriller is dumb. A major point to my shallow yet sensible agreement is the payment to the Jackson family royalties. Musicians make a fortune off of people who use their music. An example would be in the use of Bruce Lee and the Jeet Kune Do name people can’t use Bruce Lee’s name or image without first paying to the Lee family royalties. That to me is bogus because it cheapens the art of the artist. The artist should have his art to be displayed in formal fashion and very respectfully but families like the Lees and Jackson’s endorse and surrender their souls for a dollar at the drop of a hat. Seeing artist and musicians’ like Alice Cooper is really stupid because you see this crazy dude who’s supposed be down with the conformist society saling school supplies for staples. I think if your message is to be the either the greatest pop musician ever or one of the most influencing rocker than live up to the name .Selling worthless crap like cheerios and school supplies isn’t cutting it artistically and it send the message to the audience and your fans that you are a sale out phony. For me when I think of Bruce Lee’s family royalties it sucks because allot of people look up to Lee and for him to have his name make more money dead while alive is trippy. Wheatear it’s Michael Jackson, the Smashing Pumpkins, the grateful dead or any other group being a sale out it’s cool towards the fan base and it deadens the art of the artist.
