Hi, Wesley - The idea of the use of music to sell products is an interesting topic. So, my kid wrote a song titled Me and Guiliani Down by the School Yard - A True Story, and Toyota wanted to buy the song for use in a commercial. They offered $100,000, and the bidding got up to $250,000 by the time my son and his band decided that they just didn't want to go commercial and be known only as the band in the Toyota commercial. So, they passed up the $250,000 and they're still a fairly popular band making not very much money today. But they didn't compromise and sell out to a corporation, and they're proud of that. -Joe-
